Domaine Joseph Roty 'Cuvee De Clos Prieur Bas' Gevrey-Chambertin 2023

Domaine Joseph Roty 'Cuvée de Clos Prieur Bas' Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 is a refined, classically structured, and terroir-driven village-level red Burgundy crafted by eleventh-generation vigneron Pierre-Jean Roty. Sourced from the lower portion (Bas) of the Clos Prieur vineyard—situated just below the grand cru of Charmes-Chambertin on clay and Bajocian limestone soils—this cuvée comes from old vines farmed with minimal chemical intervention. Following hand harvesting and destemming, the grapes underwent fermentation in concrete tanks before maturing for 15 to 16 months in French oak barrels with a generous proportion of toasty new wood. In the glass, it displays a luminous purple-ruby hue. The nose opens with restrained yet pure aromas of red cherries, wild raspberries, and crushed strawberries layered with subtle spice and stony undertones. On the palate, it delivers a medium body defined by supple, fine-grained tannins, bright natural acidity, and energetic red berry fruit that builds toward a persistent, sappy, and distinctly mineral-laced finish.

Food Pairing: Roasted duck breast with cherry glaze, pan-seared squab, braised beef parmentier, mushroom risotto, or aged Gruyère and Comté cheeses.
