Fantastic Bourgogne Rouge. Even better on its second day open. Pure and elegant, dark raspberries, lots of matiere, a strong bitter note which was maybe a bit too much on the first night but had integrated very well in day two. Should age well but no need to wait

On day one the nose was pretty kaleidoscopic but the palate somewhat rough; day two was not quite the reverse but the cost of the palate levelling out was certainly the loss of some aromatic interest. Nonetheless, an intense and beguiling wine with a pretty serious profile. Ripe red and black fruit, smoke, florals, and some herbal notes. Plenty of structure in terms of both tannin and acidity, with good fruit intensity on the palate - I think this still has quite some time ahead of it. 91 but potential to improve.

This is my 3rd bottle of the 15 and to me this extraordinary for a BR. Easily higher quality than other wines in higher price brackets. Beautiful red and dark cherries, notes of charcuterie, spice all supported by excellent acidity. Loads of life left and just an example of what quality burgundy is

Aging nicely with everything seemingly well integrated at this point (though it still has years to go). Cherry and cranberry, as well as some earthy notes I don’t recall from prior bottles. Great Bourgogne.

But for the Bourgogne designation, this is village level Chambolle. Drinking very nicely upon opening but further smoothes out & becames more aromatic over 2 hrs prior to dinner as it slow-oxed in 2 Riedel Burg glasses & in btl w/ the cork out. Semi translucent ruby color. A floral nose w/ berries & spice accents. Palate is textbook Chambolle w/a caressing elegance. Then the purity & intensity of a top-notch producer like Barthod kicks in. Mix of red & dark fruit along w/ spice & earth smothering you in Chambolle heaven. 13% alc. Only downside, there's no longer any sneaking up on Gisland Barthod for a steal. Even the Bourgogne sourced pretty well was $60 online in CA. Again, the actual wine in the btl, performs at village level plus. Doubt I can find more '18s? If I see it, I'll buy it.

No note taken, but I remember being very happy with this - even with my expectations through the roof after a stunning (last-bottle-from-a-case) 2014 BR. At the beginning of a long drinking window, brilliant for its level, and very good value for £25 per bottle paid.

This was excellent. Quite serious, still young, with fruit, dark berries, and savory, meaty notes, which give it depth. Tannins are also present. This has years to go.

What a wine. It has the weight of a village cru. The texture of the Chambolle appellation. Ripe but still with sparkling fruit and acidity. Top notch generic Burgundy

Man kan merke at kvalitetene ligger et eller annet sted skjult innerst i denne vinen, men denne er desverre fullstendig lukket. Virker fast og strukturert men dufter lite eller intet.

Very good for being 'just a' Bourgogne Rouge. Best on day two. This wine needs more time. Beautiful nose with red fruit, some wood (not oak) subtle spice and minerality. Palate with big taste and grip. Good acidity and a tasty fruity finish.

Middels dyp purpurrød med svak modning. Noe utviklet på duft med et mørkt bærpreg av modne kjøttfulle moreller, et svakt fatpreg og et snev av lakris. Pent fyldig og fruktig med et søtlig, mørkt bærpreg. Saftig og med god konsentrasjon, litt ‘chunky’ munnfølelse, middels syrlig og med moden tanninstruktur. Lang, balansert smakskurve med sødmefullt, mørkt bærpreg i avslutningen. Ronold pleide å skrive at Barthods Bourgogne Rouge var som ‘chambolle musigny til halv pris’. Ingen dum beskrivelse - dette er en veldig god BR som fortjener rundt de 90. Fin å drikke nå, vil holde seg godt i flere år til.

Søte røde bær (bringebær), blomster, hint av skogsbær på lukt. Generelt nokså ung og rød på duft. I munnen er det også bær som dominerer, mest røde, og kanskje litt blåbær. Saftig munnfølelse med fin friskhet. Litt spinkel (eller kanskje lukket), men ikke mer enn en BR har lov til å være. Likevel merkbart i forhold til Hudelot-Noellet 2009 drukket for noen dager siden. Enkel som den skal være, men likevel forfriskende og deilig.

Beautifully red fruited on the palate, but mostly reticent and coiled up at the moment. Strong backbone of acidity and relatively tannic. Super stuff for the level, and will improve with age nicely. Not unpleasant now but better to wait.

Bringebær og jordbær på duft, hint av pepper. Flott fruktkonsentrasjon i munnen for en BR, fin saftighet og deilig friskhet med en markant men rund syre. Røde bær på smak og, men også anis særlig først, forsvinner litt etterhvert. Fruktdrevet også i ettersmaken, røde bær og litt plomme. Deilig BR, fruktdrevet uten å bli nye verden.

Ungdommelig, saftig, søtlige frukttoner, god konsentrasjon. Medium tanniner, medium syre. Drikker godt nå, men holder i mange år til. '05 drukket noen uker senere var fantastisk.

A really great Bourgogne. As far as 2015 Bourgognes go, probably up there with the Mugneret-Gibourg and Hudelot Noellat. Silky, rich a and a bit of sweetness. Good now, though will age well.

Silky, full month feel with restraint violet nose. The depth and elegancy separate Barthod from other fruity friendly 2015 Bourgogne. Need air time for drinking now.

Needed two hours after opening, gained much weight and fruit from a skinny bitter start.. red berries, bacon, medium body. Nice!

Concentrated and tight on opening. Quite dark fruit. Opens up a bit with decanting but would rather wait 2-3 years.
