Château Angélus Premier Grand Cru Classé 2018

France / Bordeaux / Saint-Émilion

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, but the château as we know it today was not founded until 1909. Back then, Maurice de Boüard de La Forest bought a parcel of L'Angelus and named his estate after it. Since 2012 it has belonged to the small group of four Premiere Grand Cru châteaux in Saint-Émilion. Today, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal is the eighth generation to run the château. The dedicated winemaker feels committed to protecting the environment and species and works in the vineyard and cellar according to certified organic methods.
