Chateau Angelus 2011

The finesse and fruitiness of a Premier Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Émilion

The property

This premier grand cru classé takes its name Château Angélus from the vine growers who heard the simultaneous ringing of the three churches in the heart of the famous medieval city of Saint-Émilion. This legendary property of the appellation was founded in 1782 and, for 8 generations, the de Boüard de Laforest family has been watching over this exceptional heritage on the right bank of Bordeaux.

The vineyard

Château Angélus is a Saint-Émilion wine from an exceptional terroir whose vines, averaging 38 years old, are located on the southern slope of Saint-Émilion. This terroir extends over clay-limestone soils on the upper part and clay-sandy-limestone soils on the hillside.
