This is a quick interview with Mr. Grenie of Chateau Angelus, the venerable Right Bank Chateau (of the Gironde River in Bordeaux) during the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux (UGC) tasting in San Fransisco of the to be released 2006 Vintage. The right bank wines in general are primarily composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The UGC ugcb.net is essentially a trade group representing some of the best Bordeaux Estates. They conduct these annual tastings upon the release of the new vintage. As a rule of thumb it is customary to release a new Bordeaux vintage 3 years after harvest. So the 2004 Vintage was released in 2007, the 2005 vintage was released in 2008 and the 2006 vintage is being released this year.
