2006 CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY 1ER CRU AUX BEAUX BRUNS GHISLAINE BARTHOD - 12x75cl

Tasting Notes

  Goedhuis, January 2008

  Beaux Bruns is always Johnny's favourite cuvée as it is Ghislaine's richest and sexiest wine, nodoubt due to Beaux Bruns heavier terroir. Spicy with notes of orange zest and crunchy griotte cherry, the 2006 Beaux Bruns is round, fleshy, dense and ample - everything one comes to expect from this vineyard. Drink 2012-2020.

  (from vines averaging 25 years of age). Here the nose is slightly more elegantand certainly finer with an equally high-toned red berry and cherry fruit-infused nose that complements the supple and round yet detailed, indeed almost delicate flavors that coat the mouth on the lacy and pure finish. This is not overly complex or concentrated but the mouth feel is striking. (88-91)/2012+

  Score: 18

  Lots of sweet red fruit, fragrant and lively. Deep pile smooth-grained tannins, then darker fruit. Determined and promises real charm with time. Drink 2012 - 2020.

Producer

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod

Exquisitely pure, ethereal, and terroir-driven, Ghislaine’s wines also have wonderful mineral raciness. The domaine was originally created by Marcel Noëllat, Ghislaine’s maternal grandfather. After attending viticultural college in Beaune in the 1980s, she began assisting her father, Gaston Barthod, at the family domaine. Her straightforward, no-nonsense approach helped introduce a sorting table, extended lees contact, a gentle cold soak before fermentation, and domaine bottling. All this enabled greater control over the quality of fruit, texture of tannins, and purity of flavours. The results have been year upon year of magical masterpieces from Chambolle Musigny. Along with her partner Louis Boillot, today she is joined in the vineyard and cellar by their son, Clément.
