Description
Côte de Nuits-Villages 1985 – Maison Bichot
The Côte de Nuits-Villages 1985 from Maison Bichot is a rare and distinguished bottle, crafted from one of Burgundy’s most outstanding vintages of the decade. The 1985 harvest produced wines of exceptional charm, balance, and maturity, with impressive ageing potential — qualities that shine here with remarkable elegance.
The wine displays a deep brick-tinged garnet colour, reflecting its long, graceful evolution. The nose is complex and refined, offering candied cherry, ripe raspberry, dried plum, along with tertiary notes of forest floor, humus, mushroom, blond tobacco, gentle spices, and a touch of soft leather. A bouquet of great nuance and depth, typical of mature Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir.
On the palate, the wine is silky, balanced, and beautifully refined. Melted tannins provide a velvety texture, while a lingering acidity brings freshness and lift. Flavours of evolved red fruit, spices, earthy tones, and subtle dried rose unfold with harmony. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, showcasing the finesse and purity of Burgundy’s finest terroirs.
A superb mature Burgundy, expressive, graceful, and a wonderful testament to both the exceptional 1985 vintage and the craftsmanship of Maison Bichot.
