“Welcome at Chateau Angélus”:
Jean Bernard Grenié (L) in English and Hubert de Boüard de Laforest (R) in French

It has been a tradition since 1999 for the owners of the First Growths from Saint Emilion to come together for a dinner during Vinexpo. All owners bring bottles directly from their cellars. Not just any bottles, no they bring bottles that make collector’s dreams come true, hence the name of this dinner: Diner Millésimes de Collection, The Dinner of the Collectible vintages.
All owners bring exceptional bottles of vintages or bottle sizes you won’t easily find on the market anymore.
In his welcome speech, Angélus co-owner Hubert de Boüard de Laforest explained how his family had arrived in Saint Emilion in 1909. The dinner marked their 100 year’s presence in the region.
I will tell you about the four elements that made this evening an unforgettable experience for me:
-the setting
-the people
-the food
