Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys Joseph Roty (Domaine) 2002

The wine

Their Gevrey-Chambertin Fonteny wines are some of the best in the appellation. Concentrated and powerful, with a robust yet supple structure, they can be aged for up to 25 years.

About the Producer Joseph Roty

The Joseph Roty domain is a family vineyard of 12 hectares, established for 11 generations on the communes of Gevrey-Chambertin and Marsannay, and today run by Joseph Roty and his son Philippe. It is undoubtedly one of the most famous Burgundy producers, even if any form of communication is refused and it does not appear to be looking for new, and in particular French, customers (85% of its wines are exported). Nevertheless, the rich and sensual style of its wines deserve their good rating in the Parker guide and the critics' regularly appraisal.
