Bid on this bottle of 2009 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Cras" (94BH, 94RP, 93ST). Wine Advocate: "The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras is loaded with class and energy. There is tremendous energy in the glass as layers of dark cherries, mint, graphite, crushed rocks, spices and licorice gain volume and breath through the mid-palate and finish. I very much like the intensity and focus here. The Cras is going to need at least another few years in bottle, but it is shaping up to be truly stellar. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.

"Ghislaine makes wines that are so shimmeringly pure that in many ways epitomize what Chambolle-Musigny and hence, Burgundy, is all about," wrote Eric Asimov in the New York Times in 2008. Though the domaine was established in the 1920s, it wasn't until 1989, three years after Ghislaine Barthod took control of her family's estate, that Barthod was able to bottle all of their own wine. Hers is a small estate, only 5.86 hectares, where the average vine age is more than 30 years old. The .86 hectares of vines that make up Les Cras are part of four vineyards that surround the Bonnes Mares cru. The site produces structured wines, perhaps the most structured of Barthod's range. For aging.

Burghound
“This is also exceptionally fresh and bright with relatively deeply pitched aromas of primarily red and blue pinot fruit that are in keeping with the rich and intensely mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent depth of material on the firm, long and gorgeously balanced finish. This is terrific juice though note that patience is part of the price of entry. A knockout. *Outstanding*” (01/2012)

Int'l Wine Cellar
“Good medium red. Aromas of musky raspberry, coffee and earth, with a note of sappy cherry emerging with air. Large-scaled and silky in texture but utterly unevolved today, coming across as dry and uncompromising. This youthfully imploded wine is distinctly linear today and will need extended aging to ripen in the bottle. Strong mineral and menthol notes carry through to the long aftertaste. An austere 2009 with substantial dusty tannins, but built for long life. (ST) 93+” (04/2012)
