This Quebec consignor was introduced to the world of wine by one of the province’s most important private collectors, Champlain Charest. M Champlain shared his passion and taught him to invest in value wines. He began his own collection in 2010, and purchased all of the bottles through the SAQ, SAQ Grand Connaisseur and Champlain Charest wine cellar. Prior to arriving at Iron Gate, the wines were stored in a wine cellar with the temperature regulated at 14C-15C and humidity controlled to 70%.
Winemaker tasting notes - Rigorous selection produced very balanced, soft, fruity wines. The rain having resulted in very ripe grapes. While not as concentrated as the 1986 or 1988, this vintage has the great advantage that it can be drunk young.
