Tonight’s sold-out Wine Club tasting features Domaine Joseph Roty, Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy.
The 11th-generation family domaine remains unapologetically traditional: deeply extracted wines, serious tannic structure, plenty of concentration, and enough new oak to support significant aging. These are not wines chasing trends but rather old school in style.
The estate is still very much a family affair, with Pierre-Jean Roty working alongside his mother, sister, wife, and soon the next generation. Most of the vineyards are over 50 years old, while the legendary Très Vieilles Vignes Charmes-Chambertin traces its origins back to vines planted in 1881! 145 year old vines!
The Bourgogne Blanc is deliberately made from Pinot Blanc rather than Chardonnay, while new oak is used sparingly, if at all, on the white wines or rosé.
Tonight we’ll be pouring several back vintages including the Très Vieilles Vignes Charmes-Chambertin from 145 year old vines.
One of the perks of being in the club. 🍷
