CHATEAU L' ANGELUS 2018
1st Grand Cru Classé A Saint Emilion
Comments from the ChâteauAngélus is certainly one of the Châteaux which has progressed the most over the past thirty years. This meteoric rise earned it, when the Saint-Emilion classification was revised in 1996, the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé B. A daring marriage of grape varieties, including a large proportion of Cabernet Franc, smoothness, purity and rare elegance. This is in a nutshell what defines the style of this legendary castle. In 2012, with the new classification, it joined the emblematic Château Cheval Blanc and Château Ausone. It thus reaches the very restricted elite of the Saint-Emilion appellation with the Premier Grand Cru Classé A rank. unique design, black and gold screen printing.
“The requirement leads us to always favor excellence. This is why our label is a symbol of dreams and trust » Hubert de Boüard Laforest
History of the ChâteauIt was at the beginning of the 20th century that Maurice de Boüard inherited a wine estate which he enlarged by buying 3 ha of vines located next to Mazerat called Angélus. The property then takes the name of this very ancient land from which the local winegrowers could hear the Angelus ringing simultaneously from the three chapels. The Boüard sons gradually enlarged the castle, from then on called Angélus, by buying the neighboring plots until it reached its current configuration in 1960.
In 1954 the château was classified as a grand cru of Saint-Emilion, the notoriety accompanying this honor enabled it to weather the crisis of the 70s and the revival of the Bordeaux vineyards in the 1980s. Hubert de Boüard Laforest, a descendant of Maurice and a graduate of the he university of oenology in Bordeaux decides to take over the domain. His knowledge of wine as well as his resolutely modern policy have enabled the estate to make enormous progress.
Early barreling after maceration, organic manure, grassing… are among the innovations that allow this château to rise to the highest level. Angélus was also one of the first castles to use sorting tables.
Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, daughter of Hubert, joined the management of the estate in 2012, this same year, the castle reached the supreme rank of Premier grand cru classé A.
Today
Coming from a financial background, Hubert's daughter was able to impose her ideas, starting with rigor and organization. Her modern and ambitious management, coupled with her passion for the vine, transmitted by her father, make her a perfectionist manager who masters the full potential of Angélus: "In front of us, we certainly have competing investors who have enormous financial means , but we have other assets: a family, know-how, a region. By reducing the number of trading houses in her distribution network from 140 to 80, Stéphanie is sorting out and only wants the best for Angélus, the château's reputation takes precedence over everything else. The communication, the image and the international influence of the castle are at the heart of its project. The exceptional terroir from which it benefits and the great vintages of the 2000s will undoubtedly allow it to place Angélus on the roof of the wine world.
