Good To Know: Known as one of the most prominent wine producers in Chambolle Musigny, Domaine Ghislaine Barthod was originally founded by Marcel Noellat whose daughter married French army officer, Gaston Barthod. Their daughter, Ghislaine, who bears the name of the domaine, took over the reins after Gaston's death in 1999.

Established in the early 20th century, Domaine Ghislaine Barthod's estate is made up of roughly six hectares (15 acres) of vineyard. More than half of this is split amongst eight well-sited plots in Chambolle-Musigny's premier cru vineyards, while the rest are situated on Villages-level and AOC Bourgogne parcels. Her partner Louis Boillot of Domaine Louis Boillot, share vineyard work together but run their estates separately.
