About this Item
Domaine Ghislaine Barthod is one of the most prominent producers in Chambolle-Musigny and is well-known for its intense, age-worthy Pinot Noirs. First established in the late 1920s as Barthod-Noëllat, when soldier Gaston Barthod married into Burgundy’s Noëllat family. In 1960, Gaston gave up his life in the military to manage the family vineyards. His daughter, Ghislaine, took over after his death in 1999. The estate holds just under 6 hectares of vines, with over half split between eight parcels in Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru vineyards and the rest in Villages-level and AOC Bourgogne plots. The strength of the domaine lies in its range of Chambolle wines, with eight separate Premier Cru bottlings. Extremely elegant and concentrated, the best wines will age gracefully for two decades.

Critics Ratings
‘The character here is decidedly different as this is bigger, firmer and beefier with a much more serious quality to the intense, focused, relatively powerful flavors. The nose is clearly Chambolle with its elegance and refinement; it is quite edgy and almost nervous on the finish.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90/100 (Jan 2005)
‘Gorgeous scents of red fruits, stones, sweet earth, and blackberries are found in the nose of the 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes. Medium to full-bodied and deeply concentrated, this structured wine offers copious quantities of toast-tinged cherries in its ripe, lush personality.’ - Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate, 90-92/100 (Jun 2004)
