The 1985 Rauzan-Ségla is a vintage that I have tasted several times from bottles I picked up cheaply some years ago

and the tannins are full and structured

cassis and red currant that are copiously laced with floral nuances

Gaia Gaja tells me that the clusters harvested were perfect in appearance

This is a chiseled and sleekly powerful effort that should also be capable of aging effortlessly for years

Fourrier, Gevrey Chambertin Cherbaudes Vv Size:6x750ml The 1985 Rauzan-Ségla is a(from . 67 ha parcel planted in 1940). This too is wonderfully complex with its layered aromas of black cherry, spice, floral, game and smoke hints. The flavor profile is at once lush yet precise with lovely purity to the lightly mineral inflected and subtly powerful finish that is beautifully well balanced and persistent. This is terrific and absolutely worth considering. (91 93) 2024+
