20 J. Roty Charmes Chamb GC "Tres VV"
97 points Wine Advocate
There were only seven barrels of the superb 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Très Vieilles Vignes, as the Roty family's ancient vines yielded a mere 18 hectoliters per hectare. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, cassis and plums mingled with licorice, sweet spices, violets and loamy soil, it's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with huge concentration, velvety tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, resonant finish. This monument in the making will require a decade's patience, and prove essentially immortal thereafter. (WK) 97+ (1/2023)

The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin “Trés Vieilles Vignes” from Domaine Roty is another stunning young wine. The nose delivers scents of cassis, black cherries, grilled meats, mustard seed, bonfire, a complex base of dark soil tones, bitter chocolate, cedary oak and a touch of anise in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, broad-shouldered, with a rock solid, sappy core, fine mineral drive and grip, ripe, fine-grained tannins and a long, focused and nascently complex finish. This will be stunning in due course! (12/2022)

More black than purple, but the fruit is very far from being dried out. Just an immense volume of very succulent super-dark strawberry. Very intense dark fruit, some raspberry, some blueberry, but will clearly need a long time. The tannins are a little rougher than the Griottes-Chambertin but it doesn’t really matter as they will integrate by the time the wine should be drunk. (12/2022)

The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has a very fragrant nose, quite similar to the Griottes-Chambertin in many ways but maybe with a touch more definition. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, intense black cherries and bilberry fruit. It feels candied towards the very persistent finish with residues of white pepper. Superb. (NM) (1/2023)
