The Bart family is based in Marsannay and most famous for wines from their own village. However, like many OG families in Burgundy, they often have holdings in other areas. In the case of the Barts, they have holdings in Fixin, and even a couple of Grand Cru vineyards: Clos de Beze and Bonnes Mares. Their holdings in Bonnes Mares amount to a little over two acres that were inherited through the Clair side of the family. The vines are on the Chambolle Musigny side, right next to Comte Georges de Vogüe, and almost half of the vines are over 100 years old.

This bottle was opened sometime prior to dinner by our host. The 2016 pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of kirsch, black plum, mixed brambles, musk, red and purple flowers, sous bois and fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is silky; elegant. Every now and again, a wine comes into your life when you least expect it and leaves such an impression that you can’t stop thinking about it. This is one of those wines. I want more of this in my life. Drink now and take your time with it, through 2046+? — 10 days ago

In 1999, Jan and Bart founded Krupp Brothers, producing their first vintage: a Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec, 4% Merlot & 3% Petit Verdot, 28 months barrel aging, small 224 case production. Deep dark dense red with enticing fruit and herb floral aromas adding an underlying sweetness. Cherry, plum and blackberry flavors with tobacco and oak notes, some nuttiness. Refined big tannins on lingering complex finish ending with earthy herb and fruit. Needs more time to truly enjoy. Tasting Sample — 8 years ago

In 1999, Jan and Bart founded Krupp Brothers, producing their first vintage. Bright yellow with aromas of stone fruits and sweet citrus scents. On the palate apple, melon and some peach flavors and hints of lemon citrus, delicate, complex and well balanced. Lingering finish, savory, ending with mineral tones and nutty vanilla oak. Nice!

2023. Going through a weird phase but still nice for the price. You best believe there was legal action involved with the "Es Chezots" labeling name. Someone felt like proving a point and has plenty of ca$hi$h to fight said lawsuit(s). 8.14.26. — a month ago

Yet another winning Marsannay from Domaine Bart. Superb nose shows a deep sousbois earthiness, a little smoky sandalwood, ripe oozing cherry, some crushed stone, and a dusting of spice. On the palate, it’s soft, nicely concentrated, and has a low-toned flavor profile of dark, pulpy cherry and dark savory notes. Tannins in the background but present enough to provide structural support. Pretty decent acids. Drinking really well now, this will easily handle a few more years. Delicious. — 8 months ago

A dream of 2 brothers, in 1999, Jan and Bart founded Krupp Brothers, producing their first vintage: a Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of a blends 36% Tempranillo with red Bordeaux varieties. Deep red with ripe berry aromas, some herbs and licorice notes. On the palate, blackberry and sweet cherry flavors with notes of cacao and espresso. Approachable tannins but this needs long term aging. Lingering rich finish. — 8 years ago

If this is the last wine you ever drink, you are a lucky person! Life is too short to drink bad wine. Lush, flavorful red fruit with marvelous tannins that linger forever. A cellar is a must to watch a wine grow and mature into all it can be. My hat is off to Daphne and Bart Araujo 🍷 — 7 years ago
