About this Item

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras, 2008
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod is one of the most prominent producers in Chambolle-Musigny and is well-known for its intense, age-worthy Pinot Noirs. First established in the late 1920s as Barthod-Noëllat, when soldier Gaston Barthod married into Burgundy’s Noëllat family. In 1960, Gaston gave up his life in the military to manage the family vineyards. His daughter, Ghislaine, took over after his death in 1999. The estate holds just under 6 hectares of vines, with over half split between eight parcels in Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru vineyards and the rest in Villages-level and AOC Bourgogne plots. The strength of the domaine lies in its range of Chambolle wines, with eight separate Premier Cru bottlings. Extremely elegant and concentrated, the best wines will age gracefully for two decades.

Critics Ratings

‘The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras is a prototypical wine for the year. Cool, inward and tense, it shows superb precision in its dark fruit, spices, menthol and tar. The wine literally wraps around the palate with serious intensity and a beguiling personality that is impossible to resist. The finish is pointed and flat-out beautiful. Drinking window 2018-2028.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94/100 (May 2011)
