The 1985 vintage in Champagne

The 1985 vintage in Champagne is considered excellent. After a cold winter, the spring was mild and the grapes matured slowly but perfectly. The harvest took place in ideal weather, offering grapes of very good quality, with well-preserved acidity and excellent ageing potential.

Tasting note: Complex nose with aromas of dried fruits, honey and toast. The palate is lively, with a nice tension and a lingering finish on brioche and slightly spicy notes.
