Chambolle-Musigny, Aux Beaux Bruns--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Ghislaine Barthod
"Somewhat dark-colored, with traces of purple on the rim, this wine has a dense nose of beautifully ripe blackberries. Medium-to-full-bodied, broad, and rich, its mouth-coating character is packed with candied blueberries, black raspberries, and Asian spices. It possesses an admirably long finish that reveals soft tannins. Projected maturity: 2001-2007. Ghislaine Barthod was "charmed by this vintage, it has purity of fruit, raspberries mostly, and elegance." She informed me that she had dropped grapes a month or so before the harvest to reduce yields to 42 hectoliters/hectare. Barthod has enlarged her formerly-cramped cellar, and installed an elevator to assist her in making her delicious Chambolles. Since her wines are all produced with the same techniques, including 25 new oak, tasting at this domaine represents a lesson in this village's terroirs" Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate #118 (Aug 1998)
