<\/figure>Ch\u00e2teau Angelus is a French wine estate located in the South of France. This ch\u00e2teau produces Bordeaux wines under the Saint Emilion appellation and has been classified as Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9 A in the Saint Emilion classification since 2012, previously Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9 B (1954). The vineyard is in the heart of a natural amphitheater, dominated by the three churches of Saint Emilion. The grape varieties are mainly Merlot (50%), Cabernet Franc (47%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (3%) in addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 1782, eight generations have succeeded one another. Indeed, at the beginning of the 20th century, it was Maurice de Bo\u00fcard de Laforest who inherited Ch\u00e2teau Angelus. After purchasing three hectares in 1920, which he named “l’Angelus”, he passed on the management of the estate to his two sons.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
It was in 1945 that Jacques and Christian Bo\u00fcard de Laforest continued the family traditions in working the vines on the estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1985, the estate had more than twenty hectares of vineyards. Efforts that paid off for the two brothers, who continued to highlight Ch\u00e2teau Angelus and advance its rise. The same year, Hubert de Bo\u00fcard de Laforest (son of Jacques) took over the management of the estate. He was joined a few years later by Jean-Bernard Greni\u00e9 and his daughter St\u00e9phanie Bo\u00fcard-Rivoal. She is the third woman to head up the management of Ch\u00e2teau Angelus since its creation. A highly renowned estate within its Saint Emilion appellation, the Ch\u00e2teau owes its success to the Bo\u00fcard family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In March 2018, the Ch\u00e2teau’s management announced the conversion of its entire vineyard to organic farming. This will be completed in 2023. The estate is the first Grand Cru Class\u00e9 A in Saint Emilion to convert to organic farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 – The Ch\u00e2teau at the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nThe bells of Ch\u00e2teau Angelus<\/strong><\/a> rang every day morning, noon and evening. These sounds of bells sounded the hour of meditation for the peasants working in the fields near the estate. Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Millet, famous French impressionist painter, produced an oil on canvas representing this sacred moment. A man and a woman interrupting their potato harvest, leaving pitchfork and basket on the ground to perform a prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis religious act reminds us of the Angel’s greeting to Mary at the Annunciation. From then on, this prayer took the name “Angelus”, just like the name of the work, exhibited at the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay in Paris.<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sodivin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/maison-millet-1.jpg\")

Present on the labels of Ch\u00e2teau Angelus bottles, the bell recalls the moments of contemplation of the eponymous prayer. It is also and above all the symbol of the Ch\u00e2teau .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if it is touched up in gold and modernized behind its elegance, it expresses the values of tradition and high standards, in the service of the reputation of Ch\u00e2teau Ang\u00e9lus, and embodies a real identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nLike many Bordeaux estates, Angelus has the specificity of producing a second wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second wine “Carillon de l’Angelus” was born with the 1987 vintage. It comes from different plots of land from the grand vin, from younger vines. However, the second wine benefits from the same know-how brought to the grand vin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, Angelus also offers a third wine called “N\u00b03 d’Angelus”. It has also been producing a new wine “Tempo d’Angelus” since 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\nCh\u00e2teau Angelus 1989<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robert Parker 96\/100 – Tasting january 2003<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“A great Angelus and one of the two or three best vintages from the young talent Hubert de Bo\u00fcard, this wine still has a young, satiny ruby-purple color and a soft nose of melted liquorice mixed with cr\u00e8me de cassis, tapenade, cedar, spice box and vanilla. Very full-bodied, opulent and rich, this is one of the 1989s that justifies the high reputation of this vintage. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
