Located in the heart of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, in the legendary wine region of Burgundy, dwells one of the oldest and most acclaimed local treasures - Domaine Joseph Roty. Spanning a wine-making heritage that stretches back an illustrious 300 years, this esteemed winery has carved a niche for itself in the realm of world-class viticulture.
Often veiled in a cloak of secrecy and intrigue, Domaine Joseph Roty is an understated entity. Yet, its reputation for producing some of Burgundy’s most exquisite, flavourful, and deftly crafted wines is unequivocal. Its cellar abounds with illustrious cuvées, with the undisputed star being the Charmes-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes, harvested from nearly centennial vines.
Helmed presently by Pierre-Jean Roty, the vinery persistently adheres to the tradition of low interventionist methodology.

An unhurried, processing from start to finish, inspires the true essence of these meticulously created paragons of grape. No detail is overlooked in their quest for achieving vinification excellence, whilst honouring the sanctity of nature's gift.
However, despite such celebrated lineage and acclaim, the winery isn’t one to tout its accomplishments; it's no wonder Domaine Joseph Roty is often referred to as the "hidden gem” of Burgundy.
