The Domaine consists of approximately 15 hectares, over half of which is situated in Grand Cru sites, including a 1-hectare plot in Ruchottes-Chambertin. The 1985 vintage in Burgundy, including Ruchottes-Chambertin, is considered one of the standout vintages of the decade, offering wines of great character and longevity.

Vinous
The 1985 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is one of my favourite vintages of this cuvée. It is blessed with a mesmerizing bouquet that (as I wrote before) seems to momentarily stop time. Pure red fruit with orange pith, petrichor and a pinch of Earl Grey. The intensity is just magnificent. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, effervescent and full of tension with a cashmere and still sensual finish that leaves you gagging for another sip. Sublime in every way. Tasted at a private dinner in London. Neal Martin1st May 2019
