Joseph Roty, Charmes Chambertin 2001

The Charmes Chambertin Tres Vieilles Vignes 2001 from Joseph Roty is a muscular and somewhat rustic wine. Quite forward and open in the bouquet with notes of red berries, undergrowth and a pinch of red current. On the palate powerful and well balanced with a very good midpalate concentration and a long slightly rustic finish. The mineralic backbone is firm and supported by a quite powerfull spicy acidity. Still need some time to unfold the fruit completely – but drinking well. A very fine effort for the vintage – but somewhat rustic like many other wines from 2001. A classic Charmes Chambertin.

  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.
