A Niagara based consignor who is auctioning wines collected by her father. He developed a love of wine in his early 20s (in the 1970s) and his collection flourished once he built a cellar in 1991. The majority of the bottles were purchased through the LCBO, but some were bought on travels to wine regions. The bottles were stored in a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar before arriving at Iron Gate.
The score for 2006 Chateau Bellevue St Emilion Grand Cru is 92-94 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - This terroir is superbly situated between Beausejour Duffau and Beau-Sejour-Becot, with Angelus within shouting distance. Bellevue has been managed by Stephane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont since 2000, and when St.-Emilion does its next new classification (in 2016), I would not be surprised to see this estate upgraded to a premier grand cru classe. A blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, cropped at a remarkably low 30-36 hectoliters per hectare, the 2006 represents the essence of terroir with its crushed rock/steely notes intermixed with flower, black raspberry, cherry, and blackberry characteristics. It is a full-bodied, dense, rich, powerful, moderately tannic offering with a broad texture, sensational purity, and an exceptionally long finish. Anticipated maturity- 2012-2025+.
