Ghislaine Barthod is rightly famous for her Chambolle-Musigny reds, which makes Les Graviers one of the most fascinating wines in the domaine’s lineup. First produced in 2020, this Bourgogne Blanc comes from just half a hectare of Chardonnay planted in 2018 within Chambolle-Musigny itself, making it the only white wine we know of from the appellation. Because Chambolle-Musigny AOC is red-only, the wine is bottled simply as Bourgogne Blanc despite coming from vines planted in the village. The parcel takes its name from its extremely gravelly, stony soils, which provide excellent drainage, naturally restrict vigor and give the wine a distinctly mineral personality. Barthod uses a thoughtful combination of amphora, tank, and larger oak for the élevage, building texture without covering the Chardonnay's purity with obvious wood. The wine shows ripe citrus, apple and stone fruit with subtle tropical notes, wild herbs and delicate florals, all carried by fresh acidity and a firm mineral backbone. It has enough richness to give it real presence, but the overall impression remains elegant, precise, and very much in keeping with the Barthod style. Les Graviers is one of the most distinctive Bourgogne Blancs we offer and a fascinating chance to taste Chardonnay grown in Chambolle-Musigny!
