Mystery Saint Emillion Grande Cru

Welcome to the boards.

Well this is a famous wine. In fact, it is not a Grand Cru but a Grand Cru Classé, something that has much more distinction. There are roughly 450 Grand Crus in St.Emilion but only maybe 15-20(Can't remember exactly) Grand Cru Classé. The Grand Cru Classés are then divided in Classe A and Classe B, most of them being in B, just like this one.

I know nothing about the vintage though.

As ever, when asking about a bottle, could you please post:
- how it has been stored
- the amount of space between the cork and the surface of the wine (ullage)

camden,

A list of the St. Emilion Grand Cru Classe estates can be found in this post if you are interested in the complete list.

1985 was quite a good vintage. Not the greatest, but quite good.
Give me your address. I'll be over to taste it with you.

Don't forget Cordier - until recently - were the people behind Talbot, Gruaud-Laroze and Meyney.

Thanks for the list Vino Me,

I was mistaken about the Classe B then. The wine is a Grand Cru Classé then not GCCB.
