Gevrey-Chambertin Joseph Roty (Domaine) 2023

The wine

Beside the grand cru Ruchottes-Chambertin, the clay-chalk soil is not treated with any chemical products. In the winery, only the best grapes are kept before being destemmed. After a cold maceration, the grapes are kept in low-temperature vats before undergoing an 18-month maturation in barrels. What results is a long-lasting bottle. On the nose, fruity and floral notes blend well with a touch of spice. The palate translates these indulgent flavours into a sumptuous and structured texture that is marked by an earthy character. A wine to age for several decades in the cellar.

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.
