Domaine Ghislaine Barthod
Domaine Ghislaine Barthod
If you have the idea that Chambolle Musigny is a “feminine” wine, then Ghislaine Barthod's wines will not disappoint – delicate, pure and perfumed fruit with a core of intense minerality that will age beautifully over the decades. We call Ghislaine Barthod “The Queen of Chambolle”. Her cellar may be humble but her wines are full of splendour and charm.

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2018 Bourgogne Les Bons Bâtons wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of cherries, raspberries and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, it's fleshy and succulent, with powdery tannins and an ample core of mouthwatering fruit. As usual, this derives from a parcel in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, one of the finest locations classified at the regional level. Readers should note that Barthod produces only one Bourgogne, but in some markets it's labelled without the lieu-dit name Les Bons Bâtons. |

Burghound (86-89)Outstanding. Very pretty and airy aromas include those of red pinot fruit and whiffs of newly turned earth and orange peel. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the detailed middleweight flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the clean and mildly austere finale. This is very good for its level. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)Good red-ruby. Complex, wild aromas of blackberry, violet, minerals, smoke and underbrush. Very dense and sappy, with impressively intense flavors of blackberry and crushed stone. The strongest but also the most austere of these young 2003s, with the explosive finish featuring a whiplash of black fruits and crushed stone. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-96)(September malo): Good bright, deep red. Highly perfumed nose offers red raspberry, cherry, minerals and flowers. Sweet and seamless in the mouth, with outstanding intensity and purity of red fruit, floral, spice and mineral flavors. Finishes with great sappy, building length, with the fruit blowing past the tannins. This has the length of a grand cru; in fact, I'd put this up against some very good examples of Bonnes-Mares. |

The palate is medium-bodied with a sorbet-fresh opening; veins of orange peel and marmalade tincture the dark berry fruit, and a tang of oyster shell emerges toward the precise finish. Very fine. |

The palate is defined by filigreed tannins, and the fruit gains weight toward one of the most impressive finishes from Ghislaine Barthod, delivering real mineralité and tension. Highly recommended. |

Vinous (88-90)Pretty medium red. Fresh raspberry and mineral aromas. Pliant and sweet in the mouth, with a succulent quality. Very red fruit in character, in the style of the Chatelots, but with minerality accentuated by the wine's firm acidity. A bit tighter than usual for this cuvee, and developing slowly. Good firm, lingering finish. This was 12.8% potential alcohol, at the high end for this estate in 2004. |

Wine Advocate (91-93)The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Beaux Bruns has a lilting nose of wild strawberry and redcurrant, nonchalant and precise, though not powerful in any way. The palate is elegant and fresh with crisp tannins, red merging into dark berry fruit towards the finish that is nicely structured, understated and with a faint marine influence. I just adore how the terroir comes through here. |

Vinous (90-92)Bright red with ruby tones. Crushed black fruits and cherry on the nose, lifted by notes of mint, rock and orange zest. Pliant but firm wine with thickness, clarity and lift. Sappy flavors of medicinal dark cherry, spices and red licorice display excellent balance and depth. A strong performance for this cuvée, from a crop that was off by 50% due to the frost. This reminded me of the superb 1993 bottling. |

It's not quite up there with the superlative 2022, but it will give 15 to 20 years of drinking pleasure. |
