Domaine Joseph Roty was established in the 1960’s, with a reputation for powerful and long-lived wines, the estate has one of the largest concentration of old vines in Burgundy averaging 65 years old. The 2005 Charmes-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes emanates intense aromas of blackberries, cassis, and hints of tobacco. The palate is robust, with firm tannins, concentrated dark fruit, and a pronounced mineral streak. This wine is still youthful, with significant ageing potential ahead.

Vinous
Full, deep red. Distinctly darker and more medicinal on the nose than the '06, offering aromas of blacker fruits, licorice, menthol, bitter chocolate and espresso; some notes of crushed wild red fruits emerged with aeration. Very densely packed and remarkably primary; considerably less evolved than the 2009, 2008 or 2007. Began supple, fine-grained and light on its feet, with dominant flavors of dark berries, crushed rock and eucalyptus (I was reminded of Chambertin) but shut down hard in the glass. Finishes classically dry and impressively long, with outstanding sappy energy and lingering violet perfume, with the serious firm tannins successfully enrobed by the wine's palate-saturating fruit. An extraordinary, very powerful wine with a great future, but don't make the mistake of drinking it anytime soon. Incidentally, when I brought up the subject of coccinelles as we tasted the 2004 Charmes, Pierre-Jean noted that the estate also saw some ladybugs in 2005, but we certainly don't feel them here.
