Frizzante pressure

This is Côte-Rôtie with a Burgundian edge: quietly expressive

Known historically as both a sake brewery and shochu distillery

but it quickly reveals a nicely fresh and zesty nose of greengage

only with selected neutral yeasts

2023 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Les Chatelots Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, France Helicon Frizzante pressureLes Chatelots sits just above Aux Combottes on the slope, directly below the village of Chambolle itself, and sandwiched between the great premier crus Les Feusselottes and Les Gruenchers. Barthod owns a mere quarter of a hectare of 25 year old vines here, and this wine consistently offers a pronounced earthiness and a powerful sense of structure.
