Domaine Joseph Roty 2021 – a vigneron’s vintage.
History: 11 generations of Roty’s have culminated in this cult winery
Domaine Joseph Roty has one of the largest cult followings of any small Burgundian grower, and has produced some of the region’s most exquisite wines for many years. Twelve generations on from 1710 the domaine is now run by Pierre-Jean, following the tragic passing of his brother Philippe. Philippe was a tremendous vigneron and had taken over the mantle of his celebrated father Joseph, instituting little changes that meant the domaine looked to the future with confidence; now it is up to Pierre-Jean to do the same, and he is doing so admirably.
The domaine follows organic and biodynamic principles although hasn’t sought certification.

Nicola Arcedeckne-Butler MW
This is the only time when fruit from Philippe Roty’s former vineyard Queue d’Hareng will be blended with Pierre Jean’s new purchase of la Croix Violette, so called because it is at a crossroads where violets grow – how very evocative! Croix Violette’s vines are Pinot Fin and around 60 years old but with no records, just local lore, to establish their exact date of planting; they were quite dilapidated when Pierre-Jean took them in hand but he is delighted with the results even in this more challenging vintage. Deepish red with a warm, juicy red fruit nose, lightly spiced and with a distant tarry note too, leading to a rich palate of big crunchy black fruits, floral and powerful, really alluring, very moreish and tangy too, with supple ripe tannins behind the cool poised fruit going to a fine, racy finish. Drink 2026 – 2030
