Joseph Roty, Charmes Chambertin 2001

The Charmes Chambertin 2001 from Roty is a big old school Burgundy. Quite mature bouquet with wonderful sweet aromas of pinot fruit. A bit rustic but also showing fine complexity with hints of forest bed. This is really a big wine, good length sweet aromas and a very firm structure behind the ripe and quite mature pinot flavors. The acidity is quite high but is currently well balanced by the fruit. Would not keep this 10 years more, as some fresh fruit is needed to match the acidity.

(Drink from 2011) Very Fine – 93p

  Griotte-Chambertin has a special place in my Burgundy heart – as it was one of the first Grand Crus I acquired when I began to collect Burgundies around 1990.
