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.
Joseph Roty saw the potential of Marsannay early, buying vineyards when few were interested. This has turned out to be a wise move as the Roty's now own old vines in some terrific sites.
Vinous: 88 Points
The 2022 Marsannay Village has a lifted nose with black cherry and cassis scents. It's a little fresher than the preceding Bourgogne Pressonier. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh with gutsy black fruit laced with touches of orange rind and surprising structure on the finish. Afford this a couple of years in bottle.
Wine Advocate: 88+ Points
The 2022 Marsannay offers up aromas of cherries, cassis and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively palate with a sweet core of fruit. It will benefit from a few years for the wood to integrate.
Burghound: 88 Points
Here too there is just enough wood in evidence to mention framing the fresh black cherry liqueur, spice and discreet earth suggestions. The sleek, succulent and vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess good punch and focused power on the firm, moderately rustic and sneaky long finish. This is just firm enough to benefit from a few years of keeping though it could easily be enjoyed young.
