Wine Description:
Domaine Joseph Roty stands as one of Burgundy's premier estates with an extensive collection of old vines averaging around 65 years, showcasing their profound connection to the land. The meticulous winemaking approach involves late picking, fermentation below 30 degrees, and an extended cuvaison of three weeks, resulting in wines of remarkable structure and complexity. Roty's commitment to traditional methods remains steadfast, with destemming, relatively high new oak usage, and an emphasis on ageability. Their flagship Charmes Chambertin Cuvée Très Vieilles Vignes, sourced mainly from vines over 120 years old, exemplifies the estate's dedication to crafting wines that age gracefully. Philippe and Pierre-Jean Roty, successive custodians, maintain the family's unyielding winemaking philosophy, emphasizing minimal sulfur additions, indigenous yeast fermentation, and traditional practices. The use of a custom heat exchanger and wooden cuvées for fermentation underscores their commitment to excellence. Despite some modernization, including the transition to stainless steel and concrete tanks, the Roty family remains true to their heritage, producing wines that exemplify Burgundy's timeless character. Pros:
- Elegant and refined flavor profile
Cons:
- May require some aging to fully develop its potential
