Description
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys from Domaine Joseph Roty embodies the noble and structured expression of Pinot Noir from one of Gevrey-Chambertin's most renowned vineyard sites. From a balanced vintage, this wine combines aromatic intensity, tannic finesse, and great depth, remaining true to the classic and exacting style of the Roty estate.
The Les Fontenys vineyard is located on the heights of Gevrey-Chambertin, near the Combe de Lavaux. The deep clay-limestone soils give the wine structure, density and a beautiful mineral tension.
This 2017 vintage reveals a precise and elegant nose, marked by red and black fruits (cherry, raspberry, blackberry), sweet spices , floral notes and a slightly smoky touch.
The palate is straightforward and structured , with a dense yet balanced texture. The tannins are firm, fine, and perfectly integrated , supported by a freshness that provides length and precision.
The finish is long, persistent and mineral , a signature of the Fontenys terroir.
