Domaine Joseph Roty Les Fontenys Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005
...really shows the class of its origins, high up on GevreyÆs south side against Ruchottes-Chambertin. A nose of black fruits and underbrush leads to an intense, clear, bright, and silken-textured palate full of beef marrow, black cherry, plum, blueberry and brown spices. A firm chalky, stony character underlies this wineÆs long finish of deep fruit and dark forest floor. For all of its dark shadings, its super-saturation of ripe fruit, and its obvious extract, this retains an invigorating freshness, elegance, and eloquent clarity... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Dark fruit with layers of complexity evident after 13 years of proper aging. Almost a “bubble gum” fruitiness, with Bordeaux-like cassis and peppery hints. Drinking well. Paired well with salmon.

Dark, brooding, and pretty much shut down.

Pretty. Very fruit forward but lithe with a very long long finish. Good acidity, Asian spices that balance strong fruit. Excellent
