Producer tasting notes: (1985 vintage) "Eye : Deep and dark red. Shiny. Nose : Fresh fruits with red berries and spices. Palate : Full, round and racy. Rounded and smooth tannins. A full-bodied, rich and intensly aromatic wine. Overall : Full with a long finish and plenty of elegance and finesse due to the well balanced tannins and fruit." - E. Guigal

- Producer Notes
- This wine is of consistently high quality in all vintages. Connoisseurs will enjoy its classic expression of the Syrah grape variety combined with the Grenache grape. Vintage after vintage, the Collection wines have become symbols which perfectly illustrate the family’s ethos of supreme quality. Careful ageing, together with the meticulous attention paid every day by Marcel and Philippe Guigal to the selection and blending processes, bring to the fore the consistency and excellence of the great appellations of the Rhône Valley.
