About this Item

Ghislaine Barthod
2011 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

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 2010 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras has a more expressive bouquet than the 2010 Beaux-Bruns at the moment. There are lilting scents of crushed strawberry, Morello, rose petal and traces of the sea at low tide. The palate is very well defined with harmonious, quite filigree tannin, showing more tension than the Beaux-Bruns towards the engaging finish. Superb. Tasted at Goedhuis's Burgundy tasting at Vintners Hall. Drinking window 2021-2036.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100 (May 2019)

'The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras ‘11 has an understated, graceful bouquet that unfolds in the glass: black cherries, sous-bois, cranberry leaf and wet stone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, good acidity and cohesion, but backward and almost surly on the finish, demanding that you don’t come back for two or three years at least. Good potential, so bunker this down for three or four years and it will surely blossom.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Nov 2014)

'Firm and fine with lots of fruit and structure and a bit of tannin but quite enough fruit to trump it. Remarkably, this tastes more Barthod than 2011.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2013)
