Château Angélus

The history of the prestigious Château Angélus is both one of the oldest and one of the youngest in Bordeaux. The origins of the de Boüard winemaking family date back to 1544, yet the château as we know it today was not founded until 1909. At that time, Maurice de Boüard de La Forest purchased a parcel called L’Angelus and named his estate after it.

Since then, the estate has built a rich tradition and has been passed down from generation to generation. The name ‘Angélus’ comes from the three bells of the nearby church, which ring every morning, noon and evening and are said to bring good fortune to the vineyards.

Since 2012, it has belonged to the small circle of four Premier Grand Cru châteaux in Saint-Émilion. Today, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal leads the château in the eighth generation. This dedicated winemaker is committed to environmental protection and biodiversity and works in vineyard and cellar according to natural, sustainable methods.

The Grand Vin of Château Angélus is one of the most sought-after and expensive wines of Saint-Émilion and regularly receives prestigious accolades in the wine world.
