TRENDING LOCATION, TERROIR, APPELATION, PRODUCTION… The Angelus vineyard lies on the St-Emilion south-facing slopes, the vines tapering down from the upper reaches adjacent to Beau-Sejour Becot and Beau-Sejour Heritiers Duffau-Lagarosse. Here the clay-limestone soils are planted mainly to Merlot and the lower clay-limestone to the Cabernet Franc. The signature of Angelus is the heightened proportion of Carbernet Franc in the assemblage, typically with 51% of Merlot, 47% of Cabernet Franc and 2% of Cabernet Sauvignon. The average production of Angelus is 90,000 bottles of the Grand Vin and 20,000 of the second wine “Le Carillon de l’Angelus”.
PAST, HISTORY, IN THE CORRIDORS OF THE TIME… The estate evolved through the 20th century. Maurice de Bouard inherited Chateau Mazerat in 1909. In 1921 he bought an adjacent plot of 3ha known locally as l’Angelus, because of the Angelus bell that tolled at three nearby churches. After the World War II, the vineyards amalgamated as Chateau Angelus (“L” was dropped in 1990) by his sons Christian and Jacques. Then other plots were acquired, the largest being 3 hectares on the cote, purchased in 1969 from what was then Beausejours-Fagouet. De Bouard was one of the first to adopt modern winemaking practices in Bordeaux and by the late 1980’s had cut the use of chemical fertilizers, introduced grass cover certain parcels, increased the leaf canopy, and was green-harvesting to control yields. Angelus practically invented the intense level of sorting now common among the top tier chateaux of Bordeaux, with only the very best fruit making it into the Grand Vin. The result is a pristine, well-crafted Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe 'A', from a winery enjoying its heyday. |
