1985 "One of my favorite burgundy vintages. Certainly some of my most consistently glowing notes. The weather conditions were interesting: unprecedented low temperatures in January, snow in February delaying budding but minimising the risk of late frosts. Delayed flowering; June and July were fairly normal but, from the first week in August, heat and drought, then hail storms; 25 of the crop in Aloxe-Corton was destroyed, but surviving vines produced excellent wines...From 1 September constant sunshine. A ripe, healthy crop and one of the best vintages in most growers' memories."
