Château Angélus, until 1990 known as Château L'Angélus, or simply L'Angélus, is a Bordeaux wine from the appellation Saint-Émilion, since 2012 ranked Premier grand cru classé (A) in the Classification of Saint-Émilion wine. This is the only estate in Saint-Émilion to have occupied every level of the local ranking. However in January 2022, they withdrew for m the classification summarised in a one-page letter they publicised, which includes the words: ‘Once a source of progress, the Saint-Émilion classification has become a vehicle for antagonism and instability.’
The winery is located on the Right Bank of the Bordeaux wine region, in the commune of Saint-Émilion in the department Gironde. The estate consists of 39 hectares with a grape variety of 51% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. The annual production averages 10,000 cases of the Grand vin and 1,000 cases of the second wine La Carillon d’Angélus.
Hubert de Boüard de Laforest joined the family business at Angélus in 1976 having concluded studies under Émile Peynaud at the Faculté d'Oenologie in Bordeaux and Chateau Angélus is currently managed by Hubert de Boüard, with the consultancy of the oenologist Michel Rolland.
