The 3.42-hectare 1er Cru Les Baudes sits just below the Grand Cru Les Bonnes Mares but has slightly richer, rockier red soil. The vines are now over 45 years of age. It’s always the most muscular wine produced by Barthod and generally requires the most time in the cellar. Some commentators consider it the most Morey of the Barthod wines, but we think it is more accurate to call it the most Bonnes Mares! Barthod farms just 0.19 hectares in the climat, making it one of the domaine’s rarest wines.
