1985 Moet & Chandon Millesime Rose

A drop-dead gorgeous beauty, the 1985 Brut Rosé Grand Vintage Collection is showing beautifully today. Crushed flowers, dried cherries, wild flowers, tobacco and sage are some of the many notes that inform this supple, gracious Champagne. All the elements fall into place in this superb silky Champagne. Today, the 1985 is at its peak of glory. Readers who want to enjoy a fully mature Champagne will love the 1985. As with many wines made during this era, the 1985 is not squeaky-clean, but it nevertheless impresses for its phenomenal length. Hard candy, crushed flowers, orange peel and tobacco reappear on the seemingly endless finish. The 1985 is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Dosage is 7 grams per liter.
