Belle bouteille, producteur méconnu mais qui gagne à l'être. Au jeu de la comparaison, on pourrait dire que le fruit manque un peu de pureté... cerise et griottes. il y a un léger coté fermier, animal. La bouche est dense et il y a une belle longueur. — 9 years ago
Alors la grosse bouteille du week-end !!
Au nez, explosion de poivron vert au nez, incroyable. Tellement fort ue ça couvre un peu le reste.
En bouche, c'est encore jeune! Aucune trace d'evolution, et le pinard a 30 ans! C'est looooooong, puissant, des notes végétales, et du fruit rouge rouge.

In a crazy twist of fate this is actually more reminiscent of an Oregon Pinot than a Grand Cru from Burgundy. Yes, 2011 was a tricky year but this does not speak of it's Clos Vougeot roots whatsoever. — 10 years ago

Very good Brut BdeB. Green apple, lemon, flowers, fine but strong bubbles and solid enough to go with food. Escalope de fois de canard, legumes d'ete au satay, Lieu jaune, chorizo iberique con case ecume de lait, a la nepita. — 11 years ago

What a beautiful person inside and out! I'm blessed beyond measure to be able to call him "Dad". Words can't adequately express how much I Love him. We opened a few bottles last night that I will hold near and dear to my heart forever. We are celebrating his completion of 6 rounds of chemo therapy in his battle against Prostate cancer. This is his 3rd time in the ring against this opponent and it appears that he's won with a unanimous decision by knockout at this time!!!!!! Love you dad!!!!! So proud of your strength through this process. My Father was born in 1940. A difficult year to say the least:
Germans entered Bordeaux in June of 1940. As dictated by Hitler himself, it was the sworn duty of each and every commander to search and seize whatever could be used for the advancement of the German cause. Bedlam broke out. Chateaux' were ransacked, wine cellars were looted if not used for target practice. The Chateauxs were forced to continue producing wines. It's poetic justice that Mother Nature provided the Germans with the worst growing season from 1940 to 1944!!!! The Germans left Bordeaux in 1944 to the cheers of the residents "Au Revoir Les Allemands"!!!! The 1940 bottle that we enjoyed this evening survived World War II. It Survived the ransacking, pillaging & plunder of countless German soldiers. It's outer capsule showed evident signs of its struggle but it's inner beauty was unblemished and glorious. I've had many, many vintages of Latour from 1928 and on but none have ever tasted as perfect as the one we enjoyed tonight. This 1940 was perfect. It was a fighter, it never gave up, it never relinquished in the face of adversity. That's my Father, that my role model. He's a beautiful person inside & out. I think 1940 is the best vintage that I have ever had the privilege to enjoy. Special thanks to my good friends Michael Troise whom provided me with much of the insights in regards to the incredibly difficult vintage and David Page whom gifted this bottle to me for our celebration this evening. I will never forget your generosity. It was a glorious evening to say the least!!! Wine has a way of bringing people together and encapsulating an evening and event. I couldn't think of a better way to rejoice in his victory than to open a Father & Son birth year wine. — 9 years ago
Premier nez fruits rouges.. cassis, mures
Attaque en bouche puissante et tres aromatique puis une fin de bouche acces sur la finesse et les fruits rouges legerement confies
Dommage que l'on soit obligé d'attendre pres de 30 ans pour avoir un Angelus au top de sa maturitée aromatique — 10 years ago

Carafé 3 heures, le vin est d'une jeunesse, on dirait encore sur l'élevage. Persistance aromatique impressionnante. Grand vin en devenir ! — 11 years ago
(2003 vintage) Very smooth and elegant with excellent harmony of gaminess, griotte cherry, menthol, tobacco, and earth. Smooth yet earthy, wonderfully proportioned. The meatiness complemented the beef tenderloin, while the fruit both enhanced and was brought out by the slight sweetness of the au jus. — 12 years ago

2010 vintage. At Au Fil Du Zinc, Chablis. Pale golden hue. Ripe and round stone fruits, honeyed, hints of wet stone minerality, youthful but with complexity. On the palate, medium plus acidity, medium plus body, medium alcohol and high concentration. Very long finish. Textural and velvety. Quite full on for a Chablis. Starting to drink now until 2030+. — 10 years ago
Robe, un rouge très clair
Au nez, ça pinote tellement, pas de doute c’est du bourgogne tendance cote de nuit. De la fraise, framboise. A posteriori un peu animal
En bouche, le vin est énorme de puissance, très large, carré. Une année solaire, la sensation d’alcool est bien là. Je pars sur 2005 ou 2009.
Pas de boisé, bcp de race dans ce vin même si la matière est vraiment épaisse. Là, je sens que c’est un infanticide, c’est 2009
Quel terroir peut donner des vins avec une telle carrure, on n’est pas sur vosne alors sur chambertin, ruchottes….
C’est ça du Chambertin et pas n’importe lequel : Armand Rousseau
