Growing up, this Alberta-based consignor was immersed in the world of old-world wines, as his parents were from France and had a deep appreciation for fine wines from a young age. Through an organization called YPO, he formed lasting friendships with like-minded individuals, and together, they began collecting wines. Their adventures took them across France and Italy, where they visited Chateaus and wineries to experience wine firsthand. Along the way, they learned the rich history behind each family’s vines, grapes, and winemaking techniques, taking note of the subtle nuances that made the wine special. His bottles were imported directly from the wineries through AGLC. He has a specially designed cellar in the basement of his home, built with original Chicago brick and equipped with temperature and humidity controls.
The rating for 2004 Chateau Angelus St Emilion Grand Cru is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - This 7,500-case blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc is one of the strongest wines of the vintage. A deep blue/purple hue is accompanied by classic aromas of smoky blueberries and blackberries as well as incense and floral notes in the background. A beautiful texture, opulence, flamboyance, and purity characterize this stunningly deep, full-bodied effort, another great success from proprietor Hubert de Bouard.
