Wine vintage rating 1985
1985 An excellent vintage in Italy and France. The vines were dormant during a very severe winter, followed by a very good flowering phase and perfect weather conditions until the 1985 harvest. The wines of Bordeaux, in particular the 1er Grand Cru Classé wineries, have again been awarded. The same climatic conditions were observed on Lafite Rothschild as in the peak year of 1982.
Weather in the year 1985
Good filling levels, good wine quality
Of course, the good condition of a wine from an old vintage depends on excellent storage. Above all, the wine must not have frequently changed cellars. Ideally, the wine will have rested in one and the same wine cellar.
But also the cork that sits in each individual bottle is very important. A perfect cork has few pores and keeps the wine stable. If an inferior cork happens to have been used in a bottle, the porous surface will begin to soak up wine and allow micro-quantities of the liquid to evaporate over the decades. Poor fill levels are the result.
A poor fill level therefore also indicates a high risk that the wine bottle could soon begin to leak.
The fill levels explained:
In the bottle neck (high fill to base neck) about 2 cm is perfect for wines.
Top and upper shoulder, ([very] top shoulder), approx. 3 cm is very good for very old wines.
Medium shoulder (mid shoulder), about 4 cm is only acceptable for rare top wines and in individual cases.
Everything below the red line should not be offered any more.

Château du Teigney is family-run in the fifth generation and now covers 33 hectares of vineyards in Langon in Graves. The wines from Graves established the fame of Bordeaux. The vineyards stretch 50 kilometers south from Bordeaux. The name Graves only came into use in the Middle Ages and is derived from the gravelly soil (terre graveleuse). The pebbles are picked up and placed next to the vines. They store the sun's heat during the day and release the heat to the grapes late into the night. This heat naturally promotes the ripening process and increases the sugar content of the grapes.

The Pontoise Cabarrus castle is a bourgeois vineyard in Saint Seurin de Cadourne with 28 hectars. Its origins date back to the 18th century, when the vineyards of Saint Seurin were ranked in the same region as premier vineyards such as Pauillac, Margaux and Saint Julien. The name of the castle would then be made famous thanks to the beautiful Thérésa Cabarrus, wife of the delegate Tallien and daughter of François de Cabarrus, banker to the King of Spain. Napoléon and Joséphine were their friends and were witnesses for their marriage. In 1959, Emile Tereygeol bought Chateau Pontoise Cabarrus and became the first woman in the Médoc region to work in the wine brokerage field.
