"The wine industry should make it mandatory for all 21 year-olds to have at least one sip of a wine like this, for it’s guaranteed to turn them into serious wine lovers for the rest of their lives. All kidding aside, it’s been a long time since I have had a better wine than the amazing 1985 Georges Mugneret Ruchottes-Chambertin. The minerally Ruchottes is also one of my favourite grand crus of all (the name Ruchottes derives from the word rocks), and in the hands of a talented producer such as Mugneret working a fantastic vintage such as 1985, greatness in the glass is virtually guaranteed."
