  Goedhuis, December 2012

  A pleasant and harmonious wine, with masses of grace, this is refined and generous with lovely sweet succulent cherry fruit flavours. A stunning expression of Chambolle Musigny.

  Score: 85-88

  (from 11 different parcels totaling 1.5 ha, scattered all over Chambolle). Cool but expressivehigh-toned red currant aromas display hints of herbaceousness that detract somewhat from the overall appeal of the nose. The lilting and lacy medium weight flavors possess a refined mouth feel on the mineral-driven flavors that are almost delicate while terminating in a restrained and lingering finish. It’s presently hard to predict how this will turn out as the vegetal character of the nose is disquieting. (85-88)/2016+

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.
