Among those served were La Fleur de Boüard 2002, La Fleur de Boüard 1998, Château Angélus 2006, Château Angélus 1967, and for a technical tasting before the meal, guests compared a Château Angélus 2003 with a Carillon d’Angélus 2003. The Pièce de résistance wine was the Château Angélus 1967 which was served with the cheese course. (Photos by Roger Farrington)
