2023 Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle-Musigny

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod is a cornerstone of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation, with a history rooted in the merger of the Barthod and Noëllat families in the 1920s. This wine is  grown across a mosaic of parcels that feature thin topsoil over limestone gravel, with vines averaging over 40 years of age. In the glass, it displays a refined profile with notes of red cherry, violet, and wet stone, balanced by a structural elegance and persistent mineral depth. The 2023 vintage required careful green-harvesting to manage yields, resulting in a wine that maintains hallmark precision and fresh fruit energy. This is a clear, expressive village-level bottling that offers immediate appeal while retaining the structure necessary for further cellar aging.
