Hubert de Boüard is the joint owner of Château Angélus, the Saint-Emilion 1st Grand Cru Classé, and a world-renowned consultant oenologist. He has joined forces with Yvon Mau, Bordeaux wine traders since 1897, to reveal some little-known but fine, high-potential terroirs. They share the same am- bition: to craft exemplary Bordeaux wines in a fruity, beautifully-balanced style that is accessible to all.
