Barthod Bourgogne Rouge 2023

This wine has always been terrific value, and the 2023 is no exception. As always, the fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel of 50-plus-year-old vines in the renowned Les Bon Bâtons vineyard (on the edge of Chambolle). It’s a very rocky, high-quality and renowned site for Bourgogne. Super perfumed, floral and red fruited, this wine now does some of its aging in 500L cask. It could easily be mistaken for a quality, village-level Chambolle. Importer’s notes.

“Smells almost bloody. Then roses. Then strawberries and oranges. Intensity of fruit and so very vibrant. Vivid. Vital. Stone-dust crunching finish. Fabulous. Mouth-filling. Joyful.” Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com.
