Following the death of Jacques d'Angerville last summer, this renowned estate is now in the hands of son Guillaume and winemaker Renaud de Villette, Guillaume's brother-in-law.D'Angerville described this domain's 2002s as a very well-balanced group of wines from a good-sized crop of around 40 hectoliters per hectare (compared to the hail-reduced 2001 yield, which averaged just 26 h/h). They have the right amount of tannins but the tannins are soft," he told me. The tannins bring structure without being aggressive.The 2002s are good to drink already, but they're not quite up to the quality of the '99s, which were deeper from the start but also harder to drink in their early days."The 2002s had been racked for the first time a couple weeks before my visit, and current plans were to bottle them in December or January. By then there will be nothing more to gain by leaving them in barrel," explained d'Angerville.(Chateau & Estate Wines, New York NY
