OUR WINEMAKERS
Hubert de Boüard
Hubert de Boüard was born in 1956 at Château Angélus and grew up on the family estate. Hubert is a winegrower at heart whose childhood was spent among the vines. In his youth, he decided he would follow in the footsteps of six generations before him, and he went on to obtain his degree from the Bordeaux Faculty of Oenology, studying under Emile Peynaud.
Among his many titles, awards, and consultancies worldwide, he currently holds the position of Grand Master and President of the Grand Conseil du Vin de Bordeaux. For Hubert, achieving balance in winemaking while respecting people and nature is at the heart of everything he does.
