Joseph Roty
An augmentation of Domaine Joseph and Philipe Roty, they are not swayed by current trends. They do not sell their wine until it is bottled so they are always a vintage behind the market. Joseph had a cult following amongst Burgundy fans and he has passed his style of rich powerful wines onto his son.

All estate fruit. Fewer than 900 bottles to share with the world. They are one of the five owners. Much bluer than the Clos de Bèze; deep purple. Dark! Yields falling because of the age of the vines. Meaty/yeast extract nose and a tad reduced. Very fine palate but a bit sour and uncharming at the moment. It will probably get there but is a bit demanding for now.Inc. TAX€2,962.19 -

The 2018 Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a more open bouquet than the Mazis-Chambertin, offering nicely focused blackberry, briar and pencil box aromas and good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and zesty, with fine tannins and blood orange infusing the blue fruit on the persistent finish. Superb, though it needs several years in the cellar.Inc.

Vinous (94)
The 2020 Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very perfumed bouquet with violet and incense infusing the intense black and blueberry fruit, touches of liquorice emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, very well integrated oak, lots of panache here with a sweet spicy, pain d'épices finish. Very long. Not a subtle Griottes but one to cellar down for several years (at least).Inc. TAX€4,208.66
