Vin Château Angélus

Less than a kilometer from the famous Saint-Emilion bell tower, located on the much-vaunted "foot of the hill", Angélus is the brainchild of eight generations of the Boüard de Laforest family. In the first classification of the wines of the Saint-Emilion appellation in 1954, Château Angélus received the status of Grand Cru Classé. Since then it has enjoyed a solid reputation that helped it survive the Bordeaux wine crisis of 1973 and participate in the oenological renewal of the eighties. This was the context in which Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, oenologist graduate of the University of Bordeaux, took advantage of the illustrious past of this wonderful wine, while being resolutely future-oriented, and launched and continued to implement an ambitious, innovative policy, in favor of achieving excellence in viticulture and wine production. Over the last thirty years, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest has constantly improved the winemaking practices and techniques and also the unique characteristics of the wines grown on his estate, allowing Château Angélus to be recognized as one of the most important properties in his area of appellation. This recognition was crowned with success by conferring on Château Angélus the Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" status.
