Domaine Ghislaine Barthod, Bourgogne Rouge

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod is a top reference-point producer in Chambolle-Musigny, and their prices certainly reflect that which is why we actively seek out their organically farmed and long-aged (20 months in barrel!) Bourgogne Rouge. Allocated in “handful” quantities,  this is entirely sourced from the “Bons Bâtons” vineyard just outside of Chambolle-Musigny proper. Don’t know this slept-on site? Pierre Rovani of Remoissenet sums it up quite nicely: “Bons Bâtons is the best Bourgogne vineyard. Period.” All this, and we still haven't mentioned the stellar 2014 vintage: This is the year we seek out when we want classically structured Burgundy with a touch of age.

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
