"The 1985 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is the oldest vintage of Bachelet's crown jewel that I have encountered. His inaugural release was the 1981. The bouquet is refined and elegant with crushed strawberry, raspberry and a touch of petrichor, nothing ostentatious but displaying exquisite delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, almost symmetrical in terms of focus with an atypically understated finish one rarely finds on 1985s . . . . this is sublime. Tasted at The Ledbury restaurant in London."
