| Name | Chateau Angelus |
| Vintage | - |
| Country | France |
Region: Bordeaux
Average annual production: Approximate 12,000 cases per year
Grape Varieties: Cabernet Franc 51%, Merlot 47% & Cabernet Sauvignon 2%
Area under vine: 23.4 Hectares
History: This chateau was known as L'Angelus until the early 1990's when the owner decided to rename it simply, 'Angelus'. The reason was that in the computer age it was appearing on price lists under the L's rather than near the beginning of the lists (in the A's) as it had historically been placed. Among the largest of the Grand Crus of Saint Emilion, L'Angelus was for many years rather underrated. However, since Hubert de Bouard took control in the early 1980's, everything about the estate has improved -- most importantly, the wine. Today L'Angelus has a justifiably fine reputation.
