Château Angélus
Bordeaux, France
Vintner: Hubert de Boüard de Laforest
Hosted at: Swissôtel The Stamford Singapore

The origin of the name Angélus has ecclesiastical roots; the original plot of vines borrowed its name from the Angélus bells, whose peels were audible from all three local churches and the Saint Emilion church.

The Boüard de Laforest family is synonymous with Château Angélus, which has passed through four generations of the family. In 1909, Comte Maurice de Boüard de Laforest inherited Domaine de Mazerat from his aunt Souffrain de Lavergne and this was augmented in 1922 by the acquisition of a neighbouring three hectares known as Clos de L’Angélus.
