Histoire du domaine
The estate traces its origins to the early 1920s through the union of the Noëllat and Barthod families, which created Domaine Barthod-Noëllat. Gaston Barthod, originally from a Jura family, married a descendant of the Noëllat family and subsequently took over management of the estate after his military service in the 1950s. His daughter Ghislaine began working closely with him during the 1980s and, along with Louis Boillot, acquired the current premises overlooking the Premier Cru Les Feusselottes in 1986. She took full reins of the estate in 1999 following her father's passing, enhancing the recognition of this property centered on the diverse terroirs of Chambolle-Musigny. Their son Clément Boillot-Barthod joined the winemaking team for the 2018 vintage and has directed it ever since, notably by reducing the proportion of new oak barrels and extending the aging period.
Les Cras (Chambolle Musigny)
Les Cras is a climat officially classified as a Premier Cru of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation, located on the northern flank of the combe d'Ambin. Its orientation varies from east to southeast and its relief ranges from a gentle slope to locally steeper gradients. The soil is shallow and rich in active limestone, resting on a subsoil dominated by upper Bajocian marly and clayey limestones containing notably Ostrea acuminata fossils. This Premier Cru climat should not be confused with the portion of the cadastral lieu-dit Les Cras that falls under the village appellation.

Histoire de la parcelle
Les Cras belongs to the ancient vineyard cadastre of Chambolle-Musigny, many of whose lieux-dits are documented as far back as the Middle Ages, although no verifiable first individual mention of this climat has been found. The Chambolle-Musigny appellation was recognized in 1936, following a parcel delimitation initiated by the 1929 court ruling and confirmed in 1930. In 1943, a regulatory list of climats authorized to bear the "Premier Cru" designation was established; Les Cras is today among the 24 Premier Cru climats recognized by the INAO and the BIVB.
