FEATURES
The 1985 Gros Frère et Soeur Richebourg Grand Cru is a highly acclaimed 布根地(Burgundy)Grand Cru, rated 92/100 by critics. Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur, based in Vosne-Romanée, is renowned for its Pinot Noir-based wines from prestigious vineyards like Richebourg, and is known for its significant use of new oak, sometimes up to 100% for its Grand Cru wines. This vintage offers a spicy, pure, and beautifully layered nose that, despite being fully mature, still retains a certain freshness, with notes of sous bois, anise, clove, and a subtle animalic character. On the palate, it is rich and moderately structured, delivering big-bodied flavors that are delicious, complex, and long, with an attractive touch of backend minerality. Expect a generous bouquet of red and black berries, violets, undergrowth, leather, and spices.
This savory and classic Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with duck, goose, game birds, beef, veal, poultry, and venison.
As a fully mature Grand Cru, the 1985 Richebourg is perfect for special occasions or a celebratory meal. When serving this mature Grand Cru, handle it with care, as old corks can be fragile. Decanting is often beneficial for older Burgundy to allow it to open up and to remove any sediment, but do so gently and just before serving to preserve its delicate aromas. Serve at a cool cellar temperature, ideally around 16-18°C (60-64°F). 【Exceptional Grand Cru Burgundy from Richebourg, known for its complexity and aging potential】
