Les Cras 2002

The Ghislaine Barthod Les Cras 2002 is an exceptional Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru from the heart of Burgundy . Ghislaine Barthod is one of the most respected winemakers of the Côte de Nuits; her Wines are known for their precision, elegance, and authentic expression of terroir. The Les Cras vineyard is located on the upper slopes of Chambolle-Musigny and produces Wines that combine finesse with a mineralized structure.

The 2002 Vintage was long considered underrated, but has become a hidden gem for lovers of mature Pinot Noirs. After more than two decades of bottle aging, this wine is showing its finest form: the tannins are silkily integrated, and the fruit has transformed into complex tertiary aromas.

On the nose, layers of dried forest berries, undergrowth, damp earth, and a hint of leather and tobacco unfold. On the palate, the 2002 Ghislaine Barthod Les Cras displays an impressive balance of ripe fruit, fine acidity, and a silky texture. The finish is long, elegant, and underpinned by a subtle minerality typical of this Premier Cru vineyard.
