2015 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: From a parcel of vines surrounded by the holdings of Domaine Fourrier, Domaine Joseph Roty's 2015 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is excellent, offering up an expressive bouquet of red cherry, raspberries, spice, rose petal and potpourri. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and intense, with more concentration and chalky grip than the Mazis-Chambertin, and more sap and energy too. This is the most high-toned and ethereal of Roty's grands crus. - William Kelley, Apr. 2018

Allen Meadows' Burghound: As is often the case chez Roty, this is easily the most elegant and refined wine in the range with its exuberant red berry fruit aromas, spice, warm earth and floral hints that are also trimmed in ample but not dominant wood. There is fine intensity to the rich, full-bodied and tautly muscular middle weight flavors that possess excellent concentration while delivering superior persistence on the moderately toasty finale. I should point out that this may also be the ripest wine in the range but even so it remains a beautiful combination of power and refinement. Note that my projected range offers the benefit of the doubt that the generous wood toast will successfully integrate in time. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2018
