The 2019 Joseph Roty Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru is an exceptional Pinot Noir that showcases the power, depth, and elegance of this iconic Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin. Domaine Joseph Roty, known for its meticulous craftsmanship and century-old vines, has a long-standing reputation for producing profound wines that age beautifully. The Mazy-Chambertin vineyard, located near the legendary Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze, is celebrated for its clay-limestone soils and ability to produce wines of remarkable concentration and finesse.
In the glass, the wine reveals a deep garnet hue with vibrant reflections. The nose is complex and opulent, offering aromas of black cherries, dark plums, and wild raspberries, layered with floral notes of violets and subtle hints of truffle, leather, and forest floor. Nuances of warm spices, such as clove and cinnamon, mingle with a touch of fine oak, adding further sophistication. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with finely integrated tannins and lively acidity providing balance and structure. The flavors are rich and layered, featuring dark fruits, savory herbs, and a pronounced mineral core, leading to a long, harmonious finish with echoes of spice and earth.
The 2019 vintage, marked by warm and consistent growing conditions, imparts this wine with ripe, concentrated fruit and a lush, approachable texture, while maintaining freshness and balance. This Grand Cru pairs exquisitely with dishes such as roasted venison, braised short ribs, or duck breast with cherry sauce. It also complements aged cheeses beautifully. While already captivating in its youth for its aromatic complexity and texture, this Mazy-Chambertin has the structure and depth to age gracefully over the next 15–20 years, revealing even greater nuance and elegance.
Joseph Roty’s Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru is a benchmark expression of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most prestigious terroirs, offering a seamless blend of intensity, refinement, and age-worthy potential—a true treasure for collectors and connoisseurs of fine Burgundy.
