| Description: | Wine Advocate 90 Points - "Offering up aromas of cherries, plums, licorice and spices, Roty's 2021 Marsannay Les Ouzeloy is medium to full-bodied, open-knit and expressive, with a succulent core of fruit and a supple, giving profile. Tasting with affable eleventh-generation vigneron Pierre-Jean Rotywho took the helm at this discrete family-owned domaine following his brother's untimely passing in 2015is an annual pleasure that I always eagerly anticipate. This year, it was the turn of the 2021s, wines that have nothing to fear from a comparison with other sunnier, drier recent years, exuding charm and perfume that will delight Burgundy purists. Roty fans will be familiar with the approach at this address: assiduously but only shallowly cultivated soils, a high proportion of old vines, minimal use of chemical treatments, destemmed grapes fermented in concrete tanks, and levage in generous percentages of smoky new oak for 15-16 months. My sense is that today's wines are suppler than the Roty wines of yesteryear. They're less forbidding in their youth than their formidable reputation might suggesteven the grands crus boast such generosity of fruit that their rich structuring tannins are frequently concealed. But they develop just as gracefully as ever. Readers shouldn't hesitate to seek them out." |
