Goedhuis, December 2016
Taking its name from a small hard-shelled walnut, this is one of Chambolle’s lesser known premiers crus, nestled in the heart of the appellation enviably close to Bonnes Mares. This is firm and intense with lovely crunchy fruit tannins. A very direct red fruit style with a long and rewarding finish.

Neal Martin, December 2016, Score: 93-95
There are three barrels of the 2015 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Gruenchers this year, one of them new. It has a bashful nose at first, one that demanded coaxing from the glass, eventually revealing earthy red berry fruit, a little rusticity but still utterly charming and very, very natural. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin and a keen line of acidity that cuts through the black fruit. I love the salinity here, so much so it leaves the mouth just tingling with the sensation 90 seconds after the wine has departed, with a faint residue of plum sauce on the aftertaste. Gorgeous!

Burghound, January 2017, Score: 91-93
A slightly fresher nose consists of notes of pomegranate, red cherry, spice, tea and subtle floral hints. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the intense, textured and again tautly muscular flavors that are supported by dense but fine tannins on the velvety finish. This excellent effort is pretty much textbook Gruenchers. Outstanding. (91-93)/2025+

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.Read less
Region
Chambolle Musigny
The wines of Chambolle Musigny are like no other. They can be superbly delicate, yet mindblowingly complex. Of all the northern Burgundy appellations, they are the most ethereal, and as a result the most feminine. Most of the Chambolle Musigny vineyard area is encompassed in its Village and Premier Cru appellations including the robust Beaux Bruns, the splendidly mineral Le Cras and the poised yet powerful Les Amoureuses. It produces only two Grand Crus - the round and rich Bonnes Mares which it shares with Morey St. Dénis, as well as what could be described as the Stradivarius of grand crus, Musigny.
