👉 Rare Mature Burgundy • 1985 Vintage • Collector’s Bottle

The Domaine René Leclerc 1985 Clos Prieur Gevrey-Chambertin is a rare and mature expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected family domaines. Sourced from the historic Clos Prieur vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, this wine reflects both the heritage of the Leclerc family and the timeless character of aged Burgundy.

Produced from old vines planted on limestone and clay soils, the wine was crafted using traditional, low-intervention methods—indigenous yeasts, minimal handling, and aging in neutral oak to preserve purity and terroir expression.

Now with decades of bottle age, this 1985 vintage reveals the evolutionary beauty of mature Burgundy. Aromas of dried cherry, forest floor, leather, and subtle spice emerge alongside earthy undertones and hints of mushroom and mineral. On the palate, the wine is silky and resolved, with softened tannins, layered complexity, and a long, nuanced finish.

Clos Prieur is one of the most recognized village-level sites in Gevrey-Chambertin, and wines from this vineyard—especially with extended aging—offer a compelling window into the depth, elegance, and longevity of classic Burgundy.

This is a collector’s bottle, ideal for those seeking fully mature Pinot Noir with authenticity and provenance.
