2022 Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Joseph Roty

This is Grand Cru Gevrey in its deepest, most quietly powerful register. The 2022 Mazy-Chambertin opens with a tapestry of dark forest fruits, black cherry skin and tiny wild berries, the nose threaded with cranberry brightness, earthy minerality and sous-bois that feels like walking through an ancient woodland after rain. 

On the palate it’s extraordinary: raspberry essence of almost haunting purity, a vivid expression of old-vine Pinot from parcels planted as far back as 1919. The texture is satin yet structured, with ultra-fine tannins already melting seamlessly into the wine’s natural architecture. Despite the use of 100% new oak, everything feels perfectly integrated, the fruit, the forest floor character, the mineral drive are all carried in a long, refined, quietly majestic finish. This is Roty in full voice: concentrated, classical and effortlessly grand.

For when you want Burgundy that speaks softly but shakes the room.
Pairs with roast pigeon, truffle risotto or anything deserving of slow attention.
If this wine were a scent, it’d be aged leather and cedarwood drifting from a library of old books.

Domaine Joseph Roty is one of Gevrey’s great traditional houses, famous for old vines, low yields and wines of profound depth. Their holdings in Mazy-Chambertin, neighbour the illustrious vines of Dugat-Py, include some of the oldest Pinot Noir in the appellation, contributing to the wine’s concentration and distinctive aromatic profile. The 2022 vintage showcases the domaine’s signature style: intense fruit, precise structure and a seamless interplay between power and finesse, a benchmark expression of this storied Grand Cru.
