The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru les Fontenys has a very tight nose, showing some toasty new oak at the moment, but there is clearly sufficient fruit behind it (the vines adjacent to Bruno Clair's). The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, very fine acidity, quite backward compared to Roty's other 2014s but with plenty of substance on the spicy, licorice-tinged finish.- Neal Martin (12/2015)
Showing some oak and a tightly wound structure, this red evokes cherry, sandalwood, mineral and spice flavors. On the sinewy side, with a long, vibrant finish. Best from 2023 through 2038. 35 cases imported. — BS (11/2017)
Dark red-ruby. Ripe cherry, licorice and spices on the nose, lifted by a floral topnote. Rich, slightly smoky aromas of raspberry and stony minerality. More saline and less obviously sweet than the Clos Prieur en Bas but with more density of material.- Stephen Tanzer (03/2017)
