Listen "Yves de Launay Knows Luxury Goods. He Found His Home At Chateau Angelus."
Episode Synopsis
When you have sold some of the most luxurious brands in the world, what does adding Chateau Angelus to the list mean? Actually, it means quite a bit. Chateau Angelus was awarded Premiere Cru Classee "A" when the Right Bank of Bordeaux began classifications in 1955. This puts the Chateau at the top of the region's rankings, which is a significant achievement. Yves de Launay, who has promoted brands such as Sotheby's, Louis XIII Cognac, LVMH, and Cartier, would seem to be a natural fit for promoting Chateau Angelus. During a recent trip to Los Angeles to taste the latest releases of Chateau Angelus, Wine Talks was on his list of "things to do." It seems that being at the top is just as hard, if not harder, than trying to get to the top. Everyone is trying to knock you off, and any small shift in your stature could be a disaster. It is Yves' job to ensure that this doesn't happen Have a listen.
