Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Véroilles 2015 — Domaine Ghislaine Barthod

This Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Véroilles 2015 from Domaine Ghislaine Barthod embodies a rare, profound and intensely refined expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. From a confidential climat of Chambolle-Musigny, this wine combines the village’s floral grace, the limestone precision of a Premier Cru and the richness of a great vintage: black cherry, Morello cherry, ripe raspberry, wild strawberry, red plum, old rose, violet, peony, fine spices, black tea, light liquorice, delicate forest floor, noble earth and a long mineral finish.

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod is one of the major references of Chambolle-Musigny, recognised for wines of remarkable aromatic purity, great tannic finesse and a very precise reading of each climat. Les Véroilles gives an expression of Pinot Noir that is delicate, vertical and structured, with a particularly marked floral and mineral dimension. The 2015 vintage, ripe, generous and balanced, brings depth, fruit brilliance and silky substance, while preserving the elegance that defines Chambolle.

Terroir: Les Véroilles, limestone finesse and Chambolle-Musigny elegance

The Les Véroilles climat in Chambolle-Musigny expresses all the delicacy of Pinot Noir on limestone soils capable of producing fine, floral and taut wines. Chambolle is distinguished by an especially silky texture, great aromatic precision and natural elegance, favouring nuance, delicate tannins and mineral length.

At Ghislaine Barthod, Les Véroilles translates into a precise, profound and airy wine, where fruit intensity never masks the finesse of the terroir. In 2015, the ripeness of the vintage reinforces flesh, brilliance and depth, while the limestone signature maintains freshness, tension and balance. The result is a Chambolle-Musigny of great distinction, at once charming, structured and destined for beautiful evolution.
