Domaine Joseph Roty Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Les Fontenys" 2018 / 750 ml.

Item#: 95700

RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jan 2021
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis, cherries and dark chocolate, complemented by hints of licorice, loamy soil and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and multidimensional, it’s serious and concentrated, with a deep, elegantly muscular profile that will richly reward bottle age, concluding with a long finish.
VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2020
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Fontenys 1er Cru comes from a single 0.5-hectare parcel. It possesses quite a complex bouquet of violet-infused black fruit and a light marine influence (shucked oyster shells). The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy black cherry and mineral-rich blueberry fruit, fine backbone and a very saline finish. Excellent.

Where It's From

Region / Burgundy

View more wines from Burgundy

In eastern France lies the region of Burgundy, one of the legendary wine regions of the world. Burgundy, home to some of the most expensive wines in the world, is famous for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. With very few exceptions, red Burgundy is made from 100% Pinot Noir. And the reigning white of Burgundy, Chardonnay, can vary incredibly in style depending on where it was produced within the region.

Country / France

View more wines from France

The French did not invent winemaking. They simply perfected it. For centuries, France has been producing wines that inspire poetry, awe, and wonder; wines that blur the lines between nature, craftsmanship, cuisine and art. These are the wines that inspired cultures around the globe to follow in France’s footsteps, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Semillon and more.

Yet as often as they are emulated, the magic of their terroirs can never be duplicated. You may taste Cabernet from around the world, but perhaps none as elegant and regal as Bordeaux. You may try Pinot Noir or Chardonnay from various climates, but none with the earth-bound soul and ethereal reach of Burgundy.

Mingling notions of cassis, cherries and plums with hints of coniferous forest floor and dark chocolate, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with an enveloping, multidimensional core, fine energy and a mouthwateringly saline finish.
VN89+89–91 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2020
The 2018 Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Cru comes from 0.61 hectares of vine that yielded 14 barrels this year. It has a feisty, high-toned bouquet of red currant, kirsch and orange zest aromas, hints of blue fruit emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and good density, the 20% new oak nicely integrated and lending presence on the midpalate. It just requires a little more precision on the finish, though it should age nicely.

The 2018 Marsannay Boivin is very fragrant and floral on the nose, where crushed violet and peony scents underlie the opulent black fruit. The palate is silky-smooth on the entry, one of Roty’s most polished Marsannay cuvées, with a slightly tarry, spicy finish. Great energy here. This should age well in bottle. Highly recommended.

The 2018 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berry fruit, woodsmoke, plums, dark chocolate, licorice and spices. Full-bodied and layered, it’s deep and concentrated, with a muscular, introverted profile and a long, lively finish. This is a serious, structured Mazis from Roty, and it will take time to show all its cards.
VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020
The 2018 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is well defined on the nose, featuring graphite-infused black fruit laced with aromas of Christmas cake and loam. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, slightly tarry black fruit and some vanilla-y new oak on the finish that will require several years to be fully subsumed. Very good length but patience required.

RP90+90+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jan 2021
The 2018 Côte de Nuits-Villages exhibits aromas of cherries, wild plums and cassis mingled with hints of loamy soil and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, it’s serious and tightly wound, with fine depth at the core and chalky structuring tannins. As I’ve written before, this cuvée derives from vines in the lieu-dit of Queue de Hareng in Brochon, neighboring Denis Bachelet’s.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020
The 2018 Côte de Nuits-Villages has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, which is a little savory in style and suggests a touch of melted tar. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, a fine bead of acidity and very good tension toward the chalky-textured finish. Excellent.

RP8787 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jan 2021
From parcels in Marsannay, Roty’s 2018 Bourgogne Rouge offers up aromas of cherries, raspberries, dark chocolate and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with powdery tannins and a succulent core of fruit, it’s showing well.
VN8686 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020
The 2018 Bourgogne Rouge comes from a selection of parcels in Marsannay. This just flirts with some overripeness on the nose, where fig and tinned prune tincture the blueberry and cassis fruit. The palate is very concentrated with intense macerated black cherries, cassis and white pepper notes. Powerful and grippy on the finish, which is obviously very Marsannay in style. This will need 2–3 years in bottle.

The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets exhibits attractive aromas of dark berries, spices, grilled squab and forest floor, followed by a medium to full-bodied, succulent and lively palate that’s concentrated and chalky, concluding with a long, mineral finish. Finishing up at 13.2% alcohol, this is an exquisitely balanced Caillerets that should offer a broad drinking window.
VN90+90–92 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2020
The 2018 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru comes from a single plot of vines. It has a perfumed nose, the most mineral-driven of the four Volnays from Boillot and probably showing the best delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins that lend a sense of strictness and correctness. You just want it to manifest more joie-de-vivre toward the finish. Maybe it will lighten up in bottle.

Another fine cuvée is the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas, a wine derived from the part of this lieux-dit classified at the communal level, where Roty observes his grapes are always especially thick skinned. Offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries, cassis and rose petals, framed by toast oak, it’s medium to full-bodied, concentrated and muscular, with the most depth and structure of Roty’s three lieux-dits.
VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas is very well defined on the nose, suggesting a mixture of around two-thirds black and one-third red fruit, laced with orange peel and light pain d’épices aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, layered black cherry and boysenberry fruit and graphite and light fig notes. White pepper lingers toward the finish, which fans out nicely. Excellent.

The 2018 Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a more open bouquet than the Mazis-Chambertin, offering nicely focused blackberry, briar and pencil box aromas and good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and zesty, with fine tannins and blood orange infusing the blue fruit on the persistent finish. Superb, though it needs several years in the cellar.

The 2018 Marsannay opens in the glass with notes of spiced plums, cherries and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with powdery tannins and a lively, charming profile, this has turned out nicely and will offer a broad drinking window.
VN8888 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020
The 2018 Marsannay Village, a blend of several parcels, is high-toned on the nose of blueberry and black cherries; touches of India ink and incense evolve in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and grippy, with dense tannins, a grainy texture, flavors of black cherries and black currant fruit and a lightly spiced finish. This does not quite reach my expectations from barrel.
