The Wine

The Iron Filbert Grand Vin is a selection of two barrels from our Iron Filbert Vineyard. Both barrels, from our cooper Francois Frères, were selected for the spectacular pedigree of both the 2018 vintage and the setting of our Dundee estate, located on Worden Hill Road at 500 feet in elevation with a beautiful south-facing slope. This wine is unctuous yet polished and can age for 15 or more years.

The 2018 vintage was idyllic. It offered steady ripening without heat spikes and lower-than-average precipitation in the late season, which allowed vintners to pick to suit their style. This made for wines that have juicy and delineated fruit, similar to the 2016 and 2005 vintages, but with lower alcohols. We believe this vintage will be heralded as one of the greats!

The Winery

Domaine Roy & fils began in 2012 with Marc-André Roy and Jared Etzel, continuing in the footsteps of their fathers who partnered to establish Beaux Frères winery in 1991. More than 20 years later, the families have kept the same focus of producing top-quality wine. Through meticulous stewardship of the land, a minimalist winemaking approach and a commitment to organic farming, Domaine Roy & fils wines exhibit a full expression of vintage and terroir.
