Thanks for the notes. I have a few bottles of the 2003 Angludet as of
yet untouched. Maybe I'll open one soon.

I know this is a Margaux, but this is a chateau I never see.

I recieved a mix case of Bordeaux from a Norwiegian friend that we
hosted at our home a few years ago. Three bottles of Angludet were in
the case as well as three Chateau Le Crock, three Chateau Clarke and
three Chateau Riegnac (sp). I've never seen Angludet or Le Crock in
Ohio (although I've actually visited Le Crock a few years ago as part
of tour of Leoville Poyferre). I occasionally see Chateau Clarke.
I've never seen nor heard of Reignac before.

I guess John and crew get most of the Angludet! Different chateaux
vary in popularity across nations, maybe no one regularly imports to
US (as UK/Europe may take most production)
I sometimes see Le Crock and Clarke.
Reignac is confusing. IIRC, the flagbearer is called simply "Reignac",
the next level down is "Ch. de Reignac." The former is a Parker
favorite and does well in blind tastings with folks who like modern
styles. Tall non-standard bottle.

Angludet is regularly stocked by the largest wine shop in Calgary as one of
the senior managers is very fond of it. I have some 2001 and 2004 and I
think it's time I tried one of the former - perhaps over Easter.

We used to get Le Crock ages ago when we lived in Boston. In the 80s.
Reignac is readily available at most supermarket wine fairs in France, I
think they must have a very large production. I think you've got it
right, (as usual), Dale. The "Chateau" is a little less in-your-face,
but I don't care for any of their wines. Never had Ch. Clarke.

I like Angludet but haven't had one from 2000 up, I shall have to seek
it out based on JTs notes. We visited in the early 90s, the family was
very welcoming. They recommended after that we lunch at a little place
on the D2 in Margaux, which story I actually told today at lunch... In
a many course lunch, one was pigs knuckles. As a bunch of Americans
(and not a Southerner in the lot) we politely pushed them around the
plate. The waiter looked askance, and a while after clearing the
knuckles brought back an enormous (and unprogrammed) chef's salad,
filled with chicken livers, smoked duck, etc. Since we clearly didn't
enjoy the pig, apparently the chef was concerned we wouldn't have enough
to eat! We left about 6 notches past replete...

Love the story about the salad Emery. A number of years ago we were
staying at Chateau de Fere in Champagne for a few days using it as our
base. We returned on our third day at lunch time to have lunch on
their patio and as we sat in the courtyard enjoying a glass of
Champagne, the manager came to our table and said that he had taken
the liberty of ordering a chef salad for us for lunch that day since
he found that afer three days, Americans tend to like something
lighter than French food for lunch. The salads came and they were
adorned with foie gras, pate, shrimp, scallops, salmon, smoked trout
and duck confit! Nothing beats a nice light salad after three days of
French food!! :-)

I thought of a great idea for a story. It would be about a couple that go
on a picnic and drink this wine. It would be called "d'Angludet Afternoon".

Le Lion d'Or? Nice and little place, for sure.

Just back from Bordeaux today. Horrible weather (Looked like Atacama's
summer on Monday, and North Pole's winter on Tuesday and Wednesday). Wines
are good and ripe this year, but many were so fragile that broke apart in
oxidation after just one minute in the glass. This en primeur system is a
madness.

Angludet, which was being poured at Chateau Desmirail was full of sulphur
in the nose so it was difficult to taste. But then Rauzan-Segla did not
last longer than 30 seconds in my glass.

Decanter y'day was positive, yet as I get older the cynic in me gets
stronger.

Lion d'Or indeed.

Anything to crank the prices up; that's what it's turned into, sadly.

And yes, it's been that sort of winter throughout France. We can only
hope that bud break is not too early, because there are bound to be late
frosts...

Good call on The Lion d' Or! I've eaten there a few times over the
years. Great frites in goose fat!
