Château Angélus

Wine Style

Château Angélus wines are characterized by their intensity, elegance, and long aging potential. They perfectly reflect the unique Saint-Émilion terroir and the de Boüard de Laforest family's commitment to upholding the highest wine production standards.

• Grand Vin (Château Angélus) is usually dominated by the 'Merlot' and 'Cabernet Franc' varietals, giving the wine a rich structure, complex aromas of black fruits, spices, and earth, as well as smooth but firm tannins.
• Carillon d’Angélus is the second wine, exhibiting a similar style but is more approachable for earlier drinking, while still maintaining elegance and good structure.

Prestigious Vineyards

Château Angélus's vineyards are located on the south-facing hillside of Saint-Émilion:

• The southern exposure ensures optimal sunlight and grape ripening.
• The soil, composed of clay, limestone, and sand, provides the wines with complexity, minerality, and good drainage.
• Meticulous work in the vineyard, including low yields and manual harvesting, is an essential guarantee of high-quality grapes.

These unique vineyard characteristics and the eight generations of family experience are the foundation of Château Angélus wines' distinction.

Aging and Drinking Period

Château Angélus Grand Vin is aged in new French oak barrels. The wines exhibit excellent aging potential and can be enjoyed after many years, developing even more nuances and elegance.
