Domaine Joseph Roty is a leading wine producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, with a large cult following in France and beyond. Joseph, who sadly passed away in 2008, was a legendary figure in the region, not only for the quality of his wines but also for his reclusive lifestyle. The 2015 Charmes-Chambertin has an expressive aroma and flavour profile, with seductive notes of raspberries, pomegranate, strawberries and a touch of flint.

Vinous
(14.5% alcohol): Good dark red but not as ruby as in some past very ripe years. Initially a bit stunted, even fermentative, on the nose, this wine opened with air to show much more precise notes of small wild red and purple fruits, licorice pastille and lavender. The very pure, sweet purple fruits are lifted on the palate by lavender and violet notes but this is stubbornly backward today, like a blueprint for a great Burgundy. Penetrating minerality and firm acidity should give this very stylish, utterly seamless wine a long future, but will it ever show the sweetness of the Griottes? Stephen Tanzer1st January 2018
