Philippe Roty, Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champs Chenys VV, 2006
Domaine Joseph Roty holds one of the largest concentrations of old vines in Burgundy, and this Gevrey-Chambertin comes from the Champs Chenys lieu-dit, a village-level plot sitting right beside the Grand Cru Charmes-Chambertin on limestone-rich marl studded with pebbles. Roty's traditional approach leans on those venerable vines and a generous hand of smoky oak, producing Gevrey of real depth and character. The 2006 is now a fully mature Burgundy, nearly two decades on, so the primary fruit has given way to the savory, earthy complexity that makes aged red Burgundy so prized. Decant and drink now.
