ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Alexandrine Roy represents the fourth generation of her family to farm in Gevrey-Chambertin, tending just four hectares in the heart of the Côte de Nuits with meticulous care. La Justice sits just below the village on relatively flat soils, bordered on all sides by
the houses of the Avenue de la Gare, where the estate is located. The buildings act as a natural clos, sheltering the vines from the wind and creating a warmer microclimate that sets this parcel apart from its neighbors.
Lovely bright ruby in the glass. The nose revolves entirely around cherry, expressed in multiple registers: fresh, confit, Fougerolles, kirsch, with a floral lift that adds elegance and complexity.
