Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A strong effort for this estate, the 2006 Lagrange competes with the finest wines of the appellation. The oak is often excessive, but in this vintage, it is beautifully integrated, allowing the sweet cassis, licorice, herb, and spice box notes to dominate. Ripe and medium to full-bodied with..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"With a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has both structured and superbly rich fruit. The tannins are firm, but show a sweet, enticing edge to them, giving a full body and classic, fresh black currant acidity. An impressive wine, which definitely needs to age—five years or more."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The Cuvee Prestige, the 2006 Haut-Condissas (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from the vineyard's finest parcels), possesses a more saturated color as well as additional structure, body, and intense fruit. The finish is heady and long. This offering should drink nicely for 12-15 years...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The darker, fuller-bodied 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits plenty of blackberry and black raspberry fruit as well as good acidity and freshness. This rich, dense ruby/purple-colored 2010 is capable of 10-15 years of cellaring."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Pinot Noir is a juicy, silky wine laced with expressive dark red fruit, flowers and spices. Higher-toned hints of mint and rose petals add lift and freshness throughout. This is an especially gracious, refined Pinot from L’Angevin and proprietors Alan Peirson and Robbie Meyer. I love the..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is really very pretty and while there is a hint of Gevrey-style animale character, the overall impression of the nose is one of understated refinement to the cool red and dark pinot fruit aromas cut with floral and plenty of earth and underbrush. The supple, round and delicious middle weight..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Affinity bursts from the glass with an exciting array of dark red berries, flowers, licorice and sweet spices. Floral notes reappear on the finish, adding brightness and lift. This gorgeous, mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon should continue to drink beautifully for at least..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
“Pure and underlined with mineral notes. Floral, berry and cherry flavors are allied to a linear, taut profile, with a chalky essence underneath it all. Shows fine balance and length.”

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Over-achievers in short, the 2009 La Fleur de Bouard is fabulous, with notes of blueberry, plum, licorice, white flowers and camphor followed by a full-bodied, well-endowed, textured, supple wine. Stunningly concentrated, yet silky and seductive ..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is one of the finest wines I have tasted from this highly regarded terroir that has rarely been exploited to its maximum potential. Loads of chalk dust intertwined with sweet kirsch, black currants, licorice and camphor jump from the glass of this full-bodied wine, which has terrific fruit..
