FULL BOARD
François and Charlotte run a sea-side hotel and fine food restaurant together, but their marriage is on the rocks. François obsessively slaves away striving to earn his first Michelin star, while Charlotte, who has just become forty, dreams of having a baby. The situation is already taut, but it literally explodes when Charlotte’s first husband, Alex, turns up out of the blue, when everyone thought he had died in the awful tsunami of 2004.
ONE MAN + ONE WOMAN
Antoine is like the heroes in the films he composes the music for. He is attractive and successful, and enjoys a fun, carefree life. When he travels to India to work on an off-the-wall version of Romeo and Juliette, he meets Anna, a woman totally unlike him, who he becomes totally besotted with. Together they pursue an incredible adventure… You can see Château Angélus being drunk at the reception at the French Embassy in India.
JAMES BOND
SPECTRE
Château Angélus appears in the new James Bond movie, Spectre, which hit the screens on November 2015. Following an appearance in Casino Royale in 2006, this is the second time a Château Angélus bottle features in a James Bond film. This is a 2005 Château Angélus bottle that appears in an action-packed train scene which features James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux).
BURNT
Adam Jones is more than a great chef; he’s an haute cuisine rock star hallowed by two Michelin stars. Elated by his success, arrogant and unpredictable, he is the bad boy of the Paris gastronomic scene and loses himself in booze and drugs. Fast forward some years and he has sobered up again. Surrounded by young trainees and station chefs, he takes over a London restaurant and embarks in quest of the holy grail of culinary endeavour, a third star. Château Angélus features in a tasting between friends, served by the sommelier in the London restaurant.
