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 expended by his sons, Jacques and Christian, who bought several contiguous plots to form a superb estate in the 1960s that is currently managed by Hubert de Boüüard de Laforest and his cousin, Jean-Bernard Grenié.

Promoted to Premier Grand cru Classé "A" status, and recognized around the world as one of the jewels among great Bordeaux wines, Chateau Angelus' success is due to the dedication of a family to their terroir.

The Angelus style is the alliance between an audacious grape variety and an outstanding terroir. It is that unique character that comes from the south-facing slope of Saint Emilion and the high proportion of Cabernet Franc that is always a joy to find in each vintage, year after year, with its richness, density, unctousity, elegance, pedigree, purity and freshness.

Cuveé: 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon
