2019 Domaine Joseph Roty Marsannay Champs Saint-Etienne

The 2019 Marsannay Champs Saint-Etienne presents a withdrawn nose, with slightly earthy notes of black fruit and sous-bois that emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, with a fresh and citrusy entry, a tangy jam permeating the black fruit, and notes of graphite on the tense finish. I appreciate the concentration and harmony of this cuvée, which should age well in the bottle.
