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.
Part of this vineyard is 1er Cru and borders Mazis-Chambertin on the East.
This is regarded as the most powerful of the village wines
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas has a taut, delineated and focused bouquet-the best of Roty's Gevrey Villages cuvées. This has fine terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins, wonderful balance and poise with a pixelated finish. The 2021 was outstanding and so is this.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas shows especially well this year, unwinding in the glass with notes of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and mineral palate framed by powdery structuring tannins.
Burghound: 91 Points
A spicier nose freely reflects cooler notes of red raspberry, wild cherry and pretty floral wisps. The sleeker and relatively fine medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the lingering finish that is firm, serious and austere yet delivers outstanding length for a villages-level Gevrey. I like the balance and this should be capable of repaying extended keeping if desired. Excellent quality here.
