Domaine Ghislaine Barthod
Les Cras Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Chambolle-Musigny, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
All smiles in the exposition, but the climax some two hours in was truly breathtaking. It was all mineral, mineral, mineral - the undeniable theme of this tale! So much so that it even permeated the nose, with chalky aromas mingled in with notes of cherries, strawberries, roses, and spices, incense almost. And the palate, oh the palate - just brimming with limestone energy. It’s hard to believe there’s just fruit in the bottle. The chalky, saline flavours and the grainy tannins made the rock almost palpable in the glass. Ah, such persistent minerality. Most definitely the best showing in the evening, but could potentially be legendary with time.

Kind of burly at the moment. Needs another 5 years in the cellar. Deep and rich. Great material.

Brilliant nose. Dripping in minerals and dark cherries. Palate a bit tight still.
