Tradition tells that the origin of the name comes from a spot where winegrowers could hear Angelus being rung simultaneously in the area’s three churches: the Chapel in Mazerat, the church of Saint-Martin-de-Mazerat and the church in Saint-Emilion. In 1909, Maurice de Bouard de Laforest purchased a 3-hectare vineyard, called Angelus, close to his vineyard of Château Mazerat. In 1954, when the Château was classified, Château Angelus became the final name. Nowadays, the third generation of family de Bouard de Laforest improves the business.

For information, the blend is mainly made up of Merlot Noir (50%), Cabernet Franc (47%) and traces of Cabernet-Sauvignon.

Tradition tells that a poet, Ausonius, would have had a house on the site of the château and Château Ausone was born! The vineyard benefits from an excellent exposition; indeed, it is situated on the top of a slope surrounding by a ring of rocks which protect it from the cool north wind.

For information, the blend is made up of half Cabernet Franc and half Merlot Noir.
