In the last thirty years, Hubert de Bouard de Laforest has constantly challenged practices and techniques for the benefit of his land and the unique characteristics of the wines grown on it, enabling Chateau Angelus to be recognised as one of the foremost properties in its appellation area.

This recognition has been documented in one classification after another, the last of which awarded Chateau Angelus the status of ‘Premier Grand Cru Classe’ “A”.

With its distinctive label of a sailing boat, Beychevelle is a Bordeaux that is popular the world over. Always one of the most forward and “user-friendly” of the Saint Julien classed growths, this is a wine that is usually made to give relatively early drinking pleasure rather than to win academic blind tastings. We have noticed a significant step-up in quality in recent vintages. The percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon is low for the Northern Medoc and there is always a high percentage of Merlot in the final blend. Always polished and supple, it is in huge demand in China where it is known as “Dragon Boat Wine”. The vineyard is 78 hectares. In 2016 the wine was made in their brand new, glass-walled winery. 47% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. As always this wine is juicy and fleshy with blackcurrant and cherry fruit. The tannins are super-slick and refined, making this one of the most approachable wines of the vintage.
