  August 3, 2023 - 27 years on this wine remains very youthful and still somewhat tight with a fine nose of dark red cherry, strawberry and redcurrants with touch of spice and earth. The palate is medium weight with a gentle intensity of predominately red fruits with touches of cassis leading into a firm finish of gripping minerality that shortens the impact somewhat. An enjoyable glass of Chambolle but its still uncertain whether more time will add more finesse and generosity.

  June 20, 2023 - Side-by-side with 96 H Lignier Les Buades. A little more complexity and intrigue here vs. more pure fruit pleasure in the Lignier. Barthod shows beautiful evolution and layering. At peak and ready to go.

  July 14, 2018 - A delicious bottle of Chambolle that like other Barthod wines has been slow to mature and show its full potential. The colour is deep cherry red. The nose has an intense lifted character of dark red cherry, strawberry and redcurrants with an earthy, stony character balancing the fruit characters. The palate is consistent with lovely characters of rich fruit, forest floor and stone providing a delicious mouthful. The finish is slightly short and the effect is more of heartiness than finesse. There is a lot to love in this wine after a sulky adolescence so common in the 96s.

  December 12, 2013 - Chambolle & Gevrey @ Trompette (La Trompette, London): Double blind. A meatiness with a touch of prune. Dark and dense. Very dry and drying on the finish.extracted. Dry tannins. Hmm, food neuters it somewhat but this is no fun. What's the point? **

  August 15, 2012 - Still clear mid red hue. Lovely red berry nose - fresh and pure. No secondary charateristics as yet. Palate followed the nose - clean elegant fresh red fruit with crystalline, crunchy palate , mid weight . Very fine. Tannins fine and just about resolved. A lovely good drinking Barthod burg where the tannins and in balance with the fruit.
