"The 1985 Ruchottes-Chambertin is a fabulous grand cru at the very peak of its powers. The spellbinding nose is one of those that momentarily stops the world from turning: pure red currant jam, orange rind, limestone cave and a touch of Earl Grey – just wonderful delineation and heavenly focus, a studied intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with a vitamin-like purity and filigree tannins. Everything here is in a perfect place with a silky texture that is utterly seductive. It continues to offer a sweet, sensual finish to a wine that can only leave a stupid grin on your face. And you won’t care."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
