The Griotte-Chambertin is oozing with berry fruit, has a super bouquet of toasty oak and jammy fruit, full body, a velvety texture, and excellent length. It will peak between 1989-1996. The 1985s from this famous firm are all impeccably clean, correct, well-made wines. Drouhin has managed to preserve the individual identity of each appellation as the wines do not taste alike. There is, of course, a house style, but that can be said of the wines from a small grower as well.
