Michel Rolland



We attended a seminar conducted by Michel Rolland and tasted some of his great wines, including the following:

Clos de los siete 2008 from Argentina
Clos Apalta 2007 from Chile
Chateau Le Bon Pasteur 2005, 1999 and 2008 from Pomerol
Chateau Ornellaia 2007 from Italy Tuscany

They are all very good, (my rating from 82 – 88, Sacha’s rating 82-90, Robert Parker rating from 89-94). What amazes me is that the wines are coming from different regions around the world and the grapes used are different but the outcome / taste are so very similar. That’s great ‘kung fu’ from Michel that really amazes us.
