Future 1er Cru Red Burgundy Masterwork
2019 Joseph Roty Cuvee de Clos de Jeu Marsannay
The Roty family has made wine in Gevrey-Chambertin since 1710, and in three centuries they have never once courted the press.

In Detail
Premier Cru-level power from Gevrey-Chambertin’s cult masters.
The Roty family has made wine in Gevrey-Chambertin since 1710, and in three centuries they have never once courted the press. They take no tourist appointments, they run no marketing, and wines leave only when the family decides. Antonio Galloni called them a "very private family," which is the polite version.
Their crown is the Charmes-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes, from vines planted in 1881 that the family still works, some of the oldest producing vines in Burgundy. It averages $533 a bottle, when allocation holders let any go.
The affordable door into this cellar is Marsannay. The family bet on the village decades ago, bought old vines all over it, and pushed the INAO to promote its best climats to premier cru. Clos de Jeu sits near the heart of the appellation, and John Gilman flatly expects it to earn the promotion. The 2019 is dark, plush, and spiced in the full Roty style, the harvest came in at half of normal, and the wine will drink well into this century.
When the promotion lands, the label will say premier cru and the price will move with it.
