Vintage 1985

Bordeaux 1985/ An extraordinary vintage. Particularly elegant in their early years, these wines are now mellow and suave with considerable finesse. The Médoc wines, supple with mellow tannins, are deliciously soft and fruity. The Pomerols and Saint Emilions possess a marvellous combination of concentration and finesse. The dry white wines are rich and complex. The sweet wines are ample, honeyed and fruity.

Written Notes

Tasted in March 2012. Low yield - only 32 hl/ha. A perfect example of mature Pomerol wine. Truffles, perfect maturity, incredibly elegant, sophisticated and with lot of finesse. Beautifully balanced wine, which can keep for 10 more years. Awesome treat. In March 2012, during vertical of 15 vintages of Bourgneuf, the first bottle tasted tasted considerably older than previous ones, but second bottle was like i remembered it. These two bottles tasted in March 2012 didn't come from Bourgneuf cellar - they were bought from other sources. Rating is based on the best bottles. Earlier in 2012 I tasted best example of this wine in Copenhagen - bought in Holland by my friend. There's a funny story about 1985 Bourgneuf Vayron - Jean Claude Berrouet (J-P.Moueix' winemaker - now retired) presented this wine blind for students of wine university in Bordeaux and the students wrote in their comments, how well fruit was integrated with oak in this wine. Their faces turned in blushing red, when Jean-Claude Berrouet told them that this wine had never seen oak in its entire life...!
