A mere kilometre from the famous bell-tower at Saint Emilion, on its famous south facing "pied de côte" (foot of the hill), Château Angélus is the story of the passionate involvement of the last four generations of the Boüard de Laforest family. The estate derived its name from a particularly ancient plot of vineyard, from which the men tending the vines were able to hear the Angelus ringing out from all three of the village churches, Chapelle de Mazerat, the Church of Saint Martin de Mazerat and the Church of Saint Emilion.

The location of this top quality vineyard is truly exceptional – right in the heart of the Right Bank, close to the borders of the famous Plateau of Pomerol and not far from Saint Emilion.
The La Fleur de Boüard vineyard combines the magic of land, vines and sky. Managed by a man of great viticultural tradition, whose family has, over seven generations, carefully fine-tuned their viticultural expertise – combining savoir-faire with innovation and dedication – promising an exciting future for this vineyard. Hubert de Boüard de Laforest is the co-owner of Château Angélus, a First Great Classified Growth of Saint Emilion. He graduated as an from Bordeaux University as oenologist and for the past 20 years has managed the estate and made the wines. Together with his wife, Corinne, they work passionately towards one single aim: to make an outstanding wine at La Fleur de Boüard.
