Domaine Ghislaine Barthod

Ghislaine Barthod's domaine was established in the 1920s and for many years was run by Ghislaine and her father Gaston - he died in 1999, yet effectively Ghislaine had been making the wine for the last decade or so.

Ghislaine Barthod has 6 hectares of vineyards, which include holdings in 7 Chambolle-Musigny Premiers Crus. Yields are kept low and the grapes are hand harvested at optimum ripeness. They are partially destemmed before being fermented in open-top wooden cuves. The wines are then matured in oak barriques (up to 25% new) for 12-18 months. Ghislaine Barthod's wines are always supremely elegant and harmonious and display admirable concentration and length. The best examples can age gracefully for up to twenty years.
