The Angélus is undoubtedly one of the best wines of Bordeaux. Since more then ten years, le château has succeeded in producing exemplary wines; even in the average years. The 2001 is once again splendid, with its black colour, its phenomenal concentration and a very rich odour. The taste is absolutely magnificent, with a lot of opulent and race.

The property is situated at less then one kilometre of the famous bell tower the Saint Emillion, on the well known ‘pied de côte’ exposed to the very South. Le Château Angélus belongs since four generations to the Boüard de Laforest family. The origin of the name comes from a parcel of land where in the old days one could hear ringing The Angélus simultaneously with the three churches of that area: the chapel of Mazerat, the church of Saint Martin de Mazerat and the one of Saint Emillion. This parcel of three hectares has been acquired by Maurice de Boüard de Laforest in the beginning of the century. His family was already owner of a neighbour vineyard: le Château Mazerat. The property hasn’t stopped to enlarge until the seventies by the acquisition of adjoining parcels. Today, the property has acceded the desirable rank of the first wine sort classified B, and is well known in the entire world as one of the grandest wines of Saint-Emillion.
