Domaine Ghislaine-Barthod

Ghislaine and Louis’ son Clément Barthod-Boillot guided me through his family’s wines this year. “We started the harvest on 10 September,” he told me. “There had been some blockage in the vineyard because of the dryness so we wanted to wait until there was optimal ripeness. The yields are around 25hl/ha for most cuveés and everything is de-stemmed [as normal at this address]. The cuvaison was slightly shorter than usual as there was less concentration in the skins and pips. The extraction was also light as the skins were a little hard. The alcohol levels are from 13.2° to a maximum of 13.8° in Les Chatelots that was picked for last. The wines will be bottled next spring.” This was a valuable overview of the appellation since I was denied visiting some Chambolle-based growers this year. Barthod’s enviable array of Chambolle Premier Crus demonstrated how well the appellation performed in 2019 with an unerring consistency. Edging their noses out in front are a stunning Les Fuées, Les Noirots, Les Véroilles, Les Sentiers and Les Cras. Without wishing to sit on the fence, any of these belong in your cellar, though maybe the track record of Les Fuées means it might pull ahead with bottle age. The only thing guaranteed is that it will be fun finding them out. The only downside is that quantities for some are very small, down to a solitary barrel.
