Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Because of their powerful and age worthy Pinot Noir wines, Domaine Ghislaine Barthod is one of the most outstanding producers in the Burgundian appellation of Chambolle-Musigny. It began in 1986 when Ghislaine and her husband, esteemed producer Louis Boillot, purchased their current land overlooking the Premier Cru vineyard of Les Feusselottes.

Les Baudes sits near the northern limit of Chambolle, immediately south of premier cru Les Sentiers, and just underneath the venerable grand cru Bonnes-Mares on the slope; Ghislaine owns just shy of a quarter-hectare of 45-year-old vines here. This authoritative, layered wine combines firm acidity, sappy red fruits, and a brooding minerality that intertwines with relatively large-scaled tannins to create an overall impression of density.
