PRE-ARRIVAL: 2022 Joseph Roty, Gevrey Chambertin 750ml Bottle

DUE APRIL 2026

'A fairly saturated dark purple. The Roty plots lie in the central axe both sides of the main road. A lovely fruit, strawberries at full ripeness, very typical both of where it comes from and the Roty style. Thee is easily enough fruit to cover the tannins. Very promising.'

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Village offers up attractive aromas of raspberries, cherries and licorice, followed by a medium-bodied succulent and fine-boned palate. This is quite suave and put-together out of the gates, so it should offer a broad drinking window. Tasting with affable 11-generation vigneron Pierre-Jean Roty—who took the helm at this discrete family-owned domaine following his brother's untimely passing in 2015—is an annual pleasure that I always eagerly anticipate. This year, we looked at the 2022s from bottle, a more dense and structured vintage than the 2021s, and one that's clearly built for the cellar. Roty fans will be familiar with the approach at this address: assiduously but only shallowly cultivated soils, a high proportion of old vines, minimal use of chemical treatments, destemmed grapes fermented in concrete tanks and élevage in generous percentages of toasty new oak for 15-16 months.'
