Roty is one of the great old traditional domaines of Gevrey-Chambertin, along the lines of a Jouan, from Morey-St-Denis, or Chevillon, from Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

"This has evolved beautifully and it is one of the riper wines of the 1998 vintage. That is the good news. The bad news is that the toast and smoke character is very strong and some, like me for example, may find it almost too much. Underneath the toast there is good complexity to the ripe dark berry fruit aromas that now flirt with being secondary in character. There is excellent intensity to the impressively well-concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that possess both outstanding depth and length. For my taste this is drinking perfectly now though it should continue to do so for many years to come. In sum, this is a very seductive wine though I again underscore that the toast element is not subtle."

"Full dark red; virtually no sign of amber yet. Vibrant, perfumed scents of red cherry, rose petal, spices and licorice. Juicy and penetrating if a bit imploded, and not showing the pliancy or volume this vintage demonstrated shortly after bottling. Flavors of blackberry confiture and flowers are accented by slightly edgy acidity, a touch of herbs and a whiff of cassis leaf. Finishes quite sappy but tight, with very firm tannins. Ideally, this wine will expand and soften with more time in bottle but I'm not convinced: owing to its slightly aggressive tannin/acid spine, it may actually lose some of its exhilarating aromatics without gaining in texture or sweetness." -Stephen Tanzer
