Domaine Joseph Roty Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Fontenys

🏅 Rating 92/100 (4,2⭐) Forest, pine trees, dark flowers, iris, violets, dusty dried rose. Perfumed. Fruits revealed with time. Raspberry. Very clean nose. On the palate ripe cherry. Granular tannins. Very Gevrey-Chambertin.

Complex nose of red and black fruits, mint, grilled meat, coffee, vanilla. Silky palate with sweet red fruit and savory meaty notes. Drinking great now with an hour of air.

Attractive nose of toffee, red cherry and menthol. Light body, fresh acidity, notes of redcurrant, coffee beans and mint leaves on the palate with a cedar finish.

From memory. Not very expressive, but dark berry fruits, black cherry and a tar and raw bacon scent on the nose. Palate is fantastic, full, rich and creamy, medium acidity and mouth-filling, long finish. Excellent wine.
