Ch Angelus
Château Angélus is one of the largest and most prestigious St-Emilion estates and was promoted to 1er grand cru classe status in the 1996 St-Emilion reclassification.
Passionately managed for eight generations, Angélus is owned and run by two cousins, Hubert de Bouard de Laforest, and Jean-Bernard Grenie and is located in the centre-west of the St-Emilion appellation, close to the famous St Emilion steeple. Angelus is henceforward helmed by Stéphanie de Bouard-Rivoal, soon to be joined by her cousin Thierry Grenie-de Bouard. Both represent the eighth generation of the Bouard de Laforest family. The property began conversion to organic farming and will gain their certification in 2021.
Rich, concentrated and complex, Angelus needs at least five years of bottle age before it should be approached.
