CHATEAU ANGELUS

Located less than a kilometre from the church in Saint-Émilion, Château Angélus is the culmination of the winemaking passion of eight generations of the de Boüard de Laforest family. The property takes its name from a plot of very old vines from which vineyard workers could hear the Angelus ringing simultaneously in three different churches.

This three-hectare plot was acquired in the early 20th Century by Maurice de Boüard de Laforest. The original small vineyard holding was gradually expanded by his sons, Jacques and Christian, who bought several adjoining plots to form a superb estate in the 1960’s that is currently managed by Hubert de Boüard de Laforest and his cousin, Jean-Bernard Grenié.

Promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé status, and recognised around the world as one of the jewels of Saint-Émilion, the 34-hectare Château Angélus is a ringing endorsement of what can be achieved when one family dedicates itself to its terroir in a seamless blend of tradition and technology.
