Château Angélus
Description
Data of interest
Château Angélus is a winery that has belonged to the Boüard de Laforest family since 1920, established on the right bank of the Bordeaux wine region, in the renowned commune of Saint-Émilion. Currently, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, representing the eighth generation of this lineage, leads the estate, becoming the third woman in the family to take on this responsibility.
Only four wineries achieved the highest classification of Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the 2012 Saint-Émilion wine classification, and Château Angélus was one of them. The quality of its 23.4-hectare vineyard was key to attaining this rank. Located within a natural amphitheater, where in the past the bells of the churches of Saint-Émilion could be heard calling for the Angelus prayer (hence the name), it is a unique terroir, planted with merlot, cabernet franc, and cabernet sauvignon, producing wines that stand out for their balance, elegance, and precision.
With the pursuit of excellence as its hallmark, Château Angélus has been at the forefront of the Bordeaux region for more than three decades, thanks to an innovative vision of viticulture, reflected in the adoption of the most modern practices, from vineyard harvesting to aging, including vinification.
