Domaine Ghislaine Barthod, located in the heart of Burgundy, in Chambolle-Musigny, is now recognised as one of the greatest names in the Côte de Nuits. This family-run estate, handed down from generation to generation, has carved out a special place for itself thanks to exemplary rigour and a constant desire to bring out the purest expression of Pinot Noir.

Ghislaine Barthod, who heads the estate, is the embodiment of the elegance and finesse of great Burgundy wines. Since taking over from her father Gaston, she has pursued a policy of precision work, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The vines, which cover around ten hectares, are planted on exceptional parcels of Chambolle-Musigny, a terroir renowned for producing wines of great elegance, subtlety and depth.

The strength of Domaine Barthod lies first and foremost in the meticulous attention paid to each stage of the winemaking process: the grapes are carefully harvested by hand, draconian sorting is carried out to ensure that only the very best are kept, and cellar work is reduced to the bare essentials to allow the terroir to express itself fully. Ghislaine Barthod's main aim is to produce wines that reflect their origins, without artifice, with a constant search for balance, finesse and purity.

The most emblematic cuvées include Chambolle-Musigny village wines, of course, but also sought-after Premiers Crus such as ‘Les Charmes’ and ‘Les Fuées’, which stand out for their complexity, silkiness and impressive ageing potential. These are rare wines, prized by connoisseurs the world over, and seductive in their ability to marry floral delicacy with mineral depth.

In short, Domaine Barthod embodies all that Burgundy has to offer in terms of authenticity and refinement. This is an estate which, far from being fashionable, continues to offer sincere wines, reflecting a unique terroir and a know-how passed on with passion. For anyone wishing to discover the true signature of Chambolle-Musigny, a bottle of Barthod is an unforgettable experience.
