Probably the most unusual wine here is the 1947 Cabernet d'Anjou, a sweet rosé that ages remarkably well. At the time little red was produced in Anjou and the best Cabernet was reserved for this appellation, which could be demi-sec or moelleux depending on the vintage conditions. In 1947 it was definitely moelleux.

RSJ 10th anniversary menu
This year the RSJ Restaurant in Waterloo is celebrating its 30th anniversary. This evening I came across the menu from the 10th anniversary dinner. 1947 Cabernet d'Anjou from Bablut to start with and a 1947 l'Aubance from Richou to finish with. There was also an 1898 Bourgueil from Pierre Breton's grandfather that didn't make it onto the menu. I recall it being a pale wraith but memorable all the same.
