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 flavors of black cherry and stone fruit.  The old vine fruit contributes the length of flavour and great complexity.

One of the great domaines of Gevrey. Pierre-Jean has taken up the reins and seems to intent on following the families somewhat idiosyncratic, uncompromising path. “Nothing changes” as Madame Roty says. These are not fashion-conscious wines, everything is destemmed, new oak is relatively high, around 50% on the village wines, 60-70% on the Lieux-Dit and 100% on the Grand Cru.

Once again subtle but not invisible wood is present on the exuberantly spicy and earthy aromas of black cherry and a whiff of the sauvage. There is good density to the intense and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that flash a bracing salinity on the sour cherry pit-inflected, long and balanced finale where a touch of austerity slowly emerges. This is a very fine Gevrey villages and worth considering. Outstanding Top value Drink: 2029+
