2022 Domaine Joseph Roty Marsannay Rouge, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from well-situated parcels in Marsannay, the northern gateway to the Côte de Nuits, this wine reflects the appellation’s cooler climate and limestone-clay soils. The 2022 vintage brought a warm, generous growing season, balanced by timely rain and cool evenings, resulting in fruit of excellent concentration and aromatic lift. Grapes are harvested by hand, sorted meticulously, and vinified with traditional Burgundian methods: partial whole-cluster fermentation, gentle extraction, and aging in a proportion of new French oak barrels to add subtle spice and texture.
The result is a Pinot Noir that is both approachable in youth and capable of graceful evolution over 5–8 years. Its balance and complexity make it an ideal partner for dishes such as roast duck breast, mushroom risotto, chargrilled salmon, or soft-ripened cheeses like Époisses or Brillat-Savarin.
