Marc Roy Gevrey Chambertin La Justice

Form the top portion of La Justice (the best section). La Justice vineyard is located just behind the estate in the large alluvial fan from the Combe de Lavaut. Named after its climat that Alexandrine bought in 2010 - produced its first vintage as recently as 2011. 50+ year old vines. De-stemmed, indigenous yeast. Aged in barrel (40% New French Oak).

2020

Burghound 90♥: An interesting and equally fresh and ripe nose combines notes of black fruit coulis, kirsch, violet and a floral whiff. The delicious, vibrant and more refined medium weight flavors possess an attractive texture thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that buffers the moderately firm tannins on the slightly more complex and sneaky long finale. This too offers very fine quality for its level.

2021

Burghound 89♥: A mildly toasty nose reveals slightly more deeply pitched aromas of dark currant, newly turned earth and a suggestion of the sauvage. The equally delicious and vibrant medium weight flavors aren't quite as concentrated though they are noticeably finer thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the inviting and refreshing finale that also delivers sneaky good length.

2022

Burghound 89♥: A discreet application of wood frames aromas that are similar to the old vines cuvée except with the addition of a hint of poached plum. The more refined and sleeker, though less concentrated, flavors are at once supple but punchy while exhibiting good length on the balanced finale that is shaped by quite fine-grained tannins.
