2011 Joseph & Philippe Roty 1er Cru "Les Fontenys" Gevrey-Chambertin Cote de Nuits

The 2011 Joseph & Philippe Roty Gevrey-Chambertin from the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy is a refined and deeply expressive Pinot Noir that reflects both the terroir and the craftsmanship of this historic domaine. Sourced from old vines rooted in clay-limestone soils, the wine shows remarkable depth and purity.

 In the glass, it has a deep ruby color and opens with aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal, and forest floor, intertwined with subtle hints of spice, smoke, and mineral earthiness.

The palate is medium-bodied yet powerful, offering concentrated dark fruit framed by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity that carry through to a long, elegant finish. With a few years of bottle age, it reveals added complexity, showing notes of truffle and sous-bois.

This Gevrey-Chambertin pairs beautifully with roasted duck, lamb with herbs, mushroom dishes, or aged cheeses, highlighting the wine’s balance of richness, freshness, and classic Burgundian finesse.
