A leading producer in Chambolle-Musigny, Ghislaine Barthod is known for making opulent red wines that are designed to age. The estate is currently made up of approximately six hectares of vineyard, over half of it is split between eight well-sited plots in Chambolle-Musigny. The 2005 Les Cras features dark fruit and earth notes that delineate a rich, ripe profile. Contrary to expectations, akin to other Barthod 2005 offerings, the wine displays a surprising accessibility despite its powerful character.
