More than 100 Francophiles gathered at the Chilton Club earlier this week for “A Taste of Bordeaux,” a benefit for the French Cultural Center. The black-tie party featured a dinner, an auction, and fancy wines from Château Angélus. Revelers included Coralie de Boüard de Laforest (far right) whose family owns the vineyard, French Cultural Center board president Gerard Moufflet, the MFA’s Malcolm Rogers, and French Cultural Center director Catheline van den Branden (near right).
