Château Angelus

So we're here on this beautiful sunny day at Chateau Angelus and Saint-Emilion Appellation on the right bank of the Gironde. A family that has been at Chateau Angelus since 1782. I'm the third woman within the eighth generation to manage this estate. One other thing that's very famous about Angelus is the bells. Everyone's recognized it from the label. They were initially used for three rings during the day for Catholic services. There's a particular atmosphere that you can feel when you are in the estate. It's a spiritual or religious or monocle atmosphere and it's something that we want to continue and preserve. It's very important for us due to the history of the Chateau. So 27 hectares are used to cultivate the Gironde vin and that produces on average about 100,000 bottles or 8,000 cases a year and that's made up from great varieties of 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. What's so special about Chateau Angelus is that it's a fantastic place with a unique terroir with its particular signature with Cabernet Franc and it's a wine that is made to age for long.
