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.
Vines planted in 1934 and that directly border the Charmes-Chambertin
This is regarded as the most complex of the village wines
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs-Chenys has a tightly wound nose with black cherry, blueberry and floral scents-aromatics that will require time in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, but quite a sturdy, structured finish as more red fruit joins the fray. This is quite a mercurial wine, one that keeps you engaged, which is always a good sign.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs-Chenys Vieilles Vignes offers up notes of raspberries, cherries and plums, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium-bodied, bright and lively, with good depth at the core and a saline finish, it's already nicely integrated.
Burghound: 89 Points
This brooding and reserved effort is aromatically quite similar to the straight Gevrey villages though here the wood toast is somewhat toned down. The suave, round and highly seductive texture of the medium-bodied flavors contrasts noticeably with the dusty and borderline chewy but superbly long finale. This is excellent but note well that it's constructed to repay extended keeping.
