Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne Rouge 2020 750ml

This wine remains terrific value, especially when you consider the tiny yields. The fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel of 50-plus-year-old vines in the renowned Les Bon Bâtons vineyard in Gilly-les-Cîteaux (on the edge of Chambolle). It’s a very rocky site for Bourgogne. As always, this wine could easily be mistaken for a handy village-level Chambolle. There is only 10% new oak, and the wine will hold and develop for at least five more years, likely even 10. A recent bottle of 2010 was in great form and still youthful!
