The Roty family made just two Marsannays (and no Bourgogne Pressoniers) in 2016 owing to the frost damage, putting the very small quantities of grapes they harvested in Les Ouzeloy, Boivin and Clos de Jeu into their Marsannay villages. (Overall estate production was down by 50% in 2016.) The Boivin, noted winemaker Pierre-Jean Roty, is in a sheltered position and the buds escaped the frost, but the grapes were ultimately too tiny and the stems too big. But the grapes in frosted spots reached 13.8% potential alcohol while retaining good acidity, Roty added. “The seeds were brown and even the pulp was ripe,” he said. He entirely destemmed and crushed his fruit in '16.
Roty feels that the ‘16s are “full, complete, structured wines for longer aging than the 2015s, even if they will give pleasure early--a bit like the 2013s.” The grapes in 2015 were smaller, he went on, and he believes that he could have started harvesting earlier than he did (September 10). "But we can't say that 2015 is atypical," he maintained. "The wines are powerful yet delicate and harmonious, with elements of small fruits and spices and very ripe tannins. It was a year of drought more than heat, and the wines are not cooked or pruney."
