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 2010 Chambolle-Musigny Village has fine delineation on the nose with subtle cranberry and crushed strawberry scents, a touch of tomato leaf in the background. The palate is underpinned by fine tannin, quite precise and poised yet surprisingly backward with almost a recalcitrant grip on the finish. Therefore give this another couple of years in bottle. Tasted at Goedhuis's Burgundy tasting at Vintners Hall. Drinking window 2020 - 2032.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 89/100 (May 2019)
'An ultra-elegant, airy and cool nose of essence of red pinot fruit and stone aromas leads to clean and equally pure middle weight flavors that are very Chambolle in character, all wrapped in a dusty, delicious, balanced and linear finish.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jan 2012)
'The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny boasts an exotic bouquet redolent of super ripe dark cherries, flowers, mint and spices. This is a fairly exuberant wine, but there is more than enough minerality to provide balance. The balance and overall sense of harmony are first-rate.' - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate (Dec 2011)
