Domaine Joseph Roty Description
Domaine Joseph Roty boasts one of the largest concentrations of old vines in Burgundy, averaging about 65 years. The domaine is fanatical about old vines, they have some of the oldest in France, the living ambassadors of the affinity the Roty’s so obviously feel for their land. Coupled with late picking, which further concentrates yields and with fermentation below 30 degrees, and a cuvaison of three weeks, the structure and complexity is consequentially remarkable and the winemaking uncompromising in achieving this. With a little age these wines develop wonderful aromatics with the characteristic Pinot Noir flavours of black cherry and stone fruit. The old vine fruit contributes the length of flavour and great complexity.
From a parcel of 80yr+ old vines that border Ruchottes-Chambertin on the outskirts of the village
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys stands out this year, wafting from the glass with notes of cherries and cassis mingled with licorice and violets. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a suave, seamless profile, it's well worth seeking out.
Vinous: 93+ Points
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Fontenys ler Cru is a little taciturn on the nose with well. defined red fruit (cranberry and raspberry) and more floral scents unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with chiseled tannins. It's sapid and spicy toward the finish but also quite backward. This will demand four or five years in the bottle before it shows what it is capable of.
Burghound: 92 Points
Once again the perfumed nose is ripe yet cool and airy with its combination of various dark berries, violet and spice wisps. The rich and solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors display unusually good power on the stony, very firm and long finish that is beautifully well-balanced. This is a Fontenys of refinement but it is nonetheless built-to-age.
