Château Angelus - N°3 d'Angelus 2019 Bouteille (75cl)
Château Angélus N°3 d’Angelus 2019 is a red wine from Saint-Émilion, crafted by Château Angélus. Its blend brings together 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. This cuvée comes from a selection of various terroirs in Saint-Émilion and receives the same vineyard management and winemaking care as the estate's other wines. Aged for a shorter period with no new oak, N°3 d’Angelus favors an accessible expression of fruit, roundness, and finesse from an early age, while retaining the potential to evolve favorably for five to eight years.

Château Angélus
Château Angélus is a wine estate in Saint-Émilion, situated on the slopes and at the southern foot of the appellation, in a natural amphitheatre close to the town. Its vineyard covers 42 hectares and is owned by the de Boüard de Laforest family, now represented by Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal. The name Angélus refers to the bells of the three neighbouring churches, which could once be heard from the vineyards.

Histoire du domaine
The historical account published by the estate traces the Boüard de Laforest family’s settlement in Saint-Émilion back to 1782, when Jean de Boüard de Laforest settled there. In 1795, his daughter Catherine Sophie married Charles Souffrain de Lavergne and moved to the Mazerat vineyard, which was owned by her husband. At the start of the 20th century, Maurice de Boüard de Laforest inherited the estate and expanded it, notably by adding a three-hectare plot named l’Angelus in 1920. He passed the property on to his sons Jacques and Christian in 1945. The château was classified as a Grand Cru Classé in the first Saint-Émilion classification in 1954. In 1985, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest took over the management of the estate, and Jean-Bernard Grenié joined him in 1987. The estate was elevated to the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé B in 1996, and then to that of Premier Grand Cru Classé A in 2012. Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal joined the management team in 2012 and is now Chairwoman, Chief Executive and owner of Angélus. In January 2022, the château announced that it was withdrawing its application for the 2022 Saint-Émilion classification.
