Histoire du domaine
The Roty family's presence in Gevrey-Chambertin has been documented since 1710, while the ownership and cultivation of vineyards in the village date back to 1817. Joseph Roty took over the family business in 1968 alongside his paternal grandfather, Charles Roty, as his own father had died at the age of 35. He developed estate bottling and established an identity closely associated with the old vines of Gevrey-Chambertin, notably in Charmes-Chambertin, Griottes-Chambertin, and Mazis-Chambertin. His eldest son Philippe began working with him in 1990 and gradually took charge of the winemaking. Following Joseph's death in 2008, Philippe succeeded him, supported by his brother Pierre-Jean, who had been working alongside his father and brother since 2001. Philippe Roty passed away in 2015 at the age of 46, after which his vines and the cuvées previously marketed under the Domaine Philippe Roty label were reunited under the name Domaine Joseph Roty. Pierre-Jean then assumed responsibility for the vineyards and winemaking. The family structure is currently legally co-managed by Françoise Roty, Joseph's widow, their daughter Patricia Rainho-Roty, and Pierre-Jean Roty.
Charmes-Chambertin (Gevrey Chambertin)
Charmes-Chambertin is a red Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated terroir within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, comprising the lieux-dits Aux Charmes and Mazoyères. The vineyard occupies a slight piedmont bench, between 260 and 280 meters in altitude, at the mouth of the Combe Grisard. Its shallow, carbonated and well-draining soils combine limestone gravel, clays and red silts; the parcels of Aux Charmes face mostly east to east-northeast, while Mazoyères is oriented more towards the south. The demarcated area of Mazoyères-Chambertin coincides with that of Charmes-Chambertin, the latter name being commonly claimed.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climats Aux Charmes and Mazoyères is attested as early as the 18th century. In 1855, Jules Lavalle classified them partly as first cuvée and partly as second cuvée. A 1931 ruling by the Dijon court sanctioned the addition of the name Chambertin and established the boundaries of the appellation d'origine; the AOC Charmes-Chambertin was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937. The parcel area currently specified in the product specification cahier des charges was approved by the INAO on May 17 and 18, 1984.
