The Joseph Roty Charmes-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2020 is an extraordinary wine crafted by a domaine renowned for its dedication to tradition and quality. The Roty family has been producing wine in Gevrey-Chambertin for over 11 generations, and this cuvée exemplifies their meticulous approach to winemaking. The “Très Vieilles Vignes” designation highlights the exceptional pedigree of this wine, sourced from vines over 100 years old in one of Burgundy’s most esteemed Grand Cru vineyards. The 2020 vintage, marked by low yields and optimal ripening conditions, delivered wines of remarkable concentration, balance, and longevity.

This Charmes-Chambertin is opulent and complex, with a captivating bouquet of ripe black cherries, blackberries, and red plums, accented by floral notes of rose and violet. Subtle hints of exotic spices, licorice, and earthy truffle emerge with time in the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that balances its richness. The ancient vines impart a profound depth and intensity, while the long, mineral-driven finish reflects the unique terroir of this Grand Cru site.

Ideal for cellaring, the Joseph Roty Charmes-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru 2020 will evolve beautifully over the next two to three decades, developing even greater complexity and finesse. It pairs exquisitely with dishes such as roast duck, venison with a berry reduction, or mushroom-infused risotto. This wine is a true masterpiece, embodying the essence of Charmes-Chambertin and the artistry of one of Burgundy’s most respected producers.
