Domaine Elodie Roy Maranges ‘La Rue des Pierres’ 2022
The 2022 Maranges La Rue de Pierres is fully de-stemmed and matured in 25% new oak. It has a very pure and well-defined bouquet, with lively redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit leaping from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, fresh and saline with a focused, quite linear but long finish, peppercorns on the aftertaste. I can see this aging nicely in bottle over the next decade.” 90 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Elodie Roy clearly has what I would call a strong Cote de Nuits inspiration, or even influence. She uses perhaps slightly more new oak than the average Maranges producer, and the wines are more refined and polished than those from her peers in these appellations.
The reds are very well made, with lovely, juicy energy. They are wines that will delight the typical Côte de Nuits drinker with their well-produced and refined expression. One gets a lovely expression of the individual terroirs, and at the same time a fine but clear expression of style coming from the Damy oak and the use of 30-40% whole-cluster grapes in most wines.
They are elegant, tasty, and with lovely energy. These are well- and carefully made wines, reflecting the fact that Elodie is an experienced winemaker who knows what she wants. The lesser wines have a stronger vigneronne reference, while the Santenay Gravieres is beautifully balanced already. This is a question of balance and taste, but for my money, Elodie is bringing refinement to her Maranges by giving them a bit of oak and a modest SO2 dose – around 20 ppm of free sulphur. These are clearly not hippie wines (natural-ish), but rather refined and polished modern wines, enjoyable and juicy.” Winehog
Elodie Roy took over her family’s estate in Cheilly-lès-Maranges in 2018 after over a decade in the Côtes de Nuits with Domaine Anne Gros. With 10 hectares of vines over 7 appellations of mostly Pinot Noir, she is foremost a dedicated vigneron, fastidious in the vineyards and the belief there is no great wine without great fruit.
