At this period of time, you usually expect 2005s from Burgundy a little bit closed with firm tannins. It was not the case last night with this delicious Gevrey Chambertin from Joseph Roty. Very easy to drink, this wine showed a great intensity of fruit and fine tannins went beautifully well with the food. Domaine Roty is known to produce high quality unfiltered wines with specific methods such as prolonged skin contact and gentle extraction. This 2005 is a well defined Gevrey Chambertin whose finesse, nice acidity and high level of maturity make it very approachable now but also give it a good ageing potential. Like most of the wines from this estate. Bravo!(You can reach the writer at info@vitabella.fr)
