2009 Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru, Les Veroilles 1x75cl

Burghound – 93

Like the ’09 Fuées this is exceptionally fresh for the vintage and displays cool and especially pure high-toned red pinot fruit, dried rose petals and subtle stone hints. The very rich and voluminous soil-inflected flavors finish with a linear, intense and very firm backend. This should be lovely in time though at present, it is austere as this is a very serious effort, particularly for the vintage. [10/01/2012]

Vinous – 93

The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Veroilles comes across as quite extroverted today. The focus and sheer energy of the dark fruit are what stand out most. Barthod’s Veroilles has developed beautifully since I tasted it last year. [Antonio Galloni, 04/01/2012]
