Roty, Joseph 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 'Tres Vieilles Vignes'

3 parcels at the heart of the Grand Cru just downslope from Chambertin. The vines date back to 1881 and 1882 replanted just after Phylloxera, with over 100 years of age the Roty’s label this bottling ‘Tres Vieilles Vignes’ or ‘really old vines.’ The most iconic of Domaine Joseph Roty’s wines, deep, rich and powerful! This is a wine that will just continue to improve, I tasted the 2017 vintage during my visit back in 2020 and the wine was textured with hints of spice and ripe fruits, it had a great freshness to it that showed how well it would continue to age.
