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 2006 Chateau Angelus St Emilion Grand Cru is 94 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Angelus, a blend of 47% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, has a very perfumed bouquet with scents of blueberry, cassis, crushed violets and just a touch of mushroom. This is very generous. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly toasty entry. The acidity is quite low compared to other 2006 Saint Emilions, but there is harmony here and the tannins seem very fine. There is real density on the finish, although I was just seeking a little more delineation to come through. Give this another two or three years in bottle.
