The 1985 vintage in Bordeaux started with the vines suffering frost damage in winter which was followed by a stormy, cold and wet Spring. Early summer saw violent hailstorms, but after this time the weather improved dramatically for the crucial flowering period. July and August saw hot temperatures with isolated showers. September was one of the hottest and driest on record, which led to good ripening. From September onwards conditions were perfect for a good harvest. It was an outstanding vintage and all appellations produced wines of great complexity and great ageing potential.. 1985 was outstanding for Red Burgundy and very good for White Burgundy. It was an outstanding vintage in the North and South of the Cote du Rhone. In Portugal, there was a very good vintage which produced some very good vintage ports. There was also an outstanding vintage in the Champagne region.
