The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village exhibits aromas of sweet cherries, raspberries, loamy soil and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with powdery tannins and succulent acids, it concludes with a penetrating finish. As usual, it's one of the more approachable wines in the range.

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village reveals inviting aromas of cassis, black tea, sweet spices, licorice and peonies.

Bursting with aromas of blackberries, plums, cassis, rich forest floor and black truffle, Roty's 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with rich structuring tannins and a generous core of fruit.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is showing well, delivering a lovely bouquet of cherries, chassis, smoked meats, rich soil tones and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, it's fleshy and layered, with a charming core of fruit and a precise finish. As I wrote last year, it's a blend derived from four parcels located in Champerrier du Bas, Charreux, Les Crais and La Platière.
