1985
1985 is an outstanding vintage, both in terms of quality and quantity. It has always been very pleasant to drink, almost right from the end of the fermentation. The nose remains still astonishingly fruity, fine and elegant and has become more developed and very complex. On the palate, one is immediately struck by the delicacy and charm of the particularly round and silky tannins, while the length and finish also reveal great concentration.
Today, 1985 stands as one of our most appealing vintages. It seems to be at its peak—though it may still surprise us in the coming decades. (February 2025)
Climate
After a quite cool and late start to the growing season, this vintage was influenced by very advantageous ripening and harvesting conditions, especially during the months of September and October, which were very hot and dry. The leaves on the vines refused to fall until late into November. This Indian summer will be remembered a long time. (The picking began on 26th September)
