2024 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne Les Graviers, Burgundy, France Mick Craven Soil: clay loamIn the mid 2010s, Ghislaine and Clment planted a 0. 5 hectare parcel in Chambolle Musigny to Chardonnay, thereby giving the estate its first ever white wine. Aged for one year in a combination of 50% used 500 liter oak barrels and 50% terracotta jar, Les Graviers is sleek, pure fruited, and satisfyingly clinging on the palate, with virtually no detectable oak influence.
