CHATEAU ANGELUS, 1998
SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU
1998 est un très bon millésime à Bordeaux. Le printemps et l'été ont été chaud et sec permettant un développement et une maturité optimale. Les vins ont développé des arômes riches et complexe de fruits noirs et rouges. Les vins dégagent aujourd'hui une palette aromatique tertiaire de cuir, de tabac et de cèdre.

History and anecdotes
For eight generations, the Château has belonged to the de Broüard de Laforest family. The Angélus vineyard is located within a natural amphitheatre, which is dominated by the three churches of Saint-Emilion. In the heart of the special site, the sound is amplified and we formerly could hear the Angelus bells ring in the morning, at midday and in the evening. In 2012, the Château was classified “A” as Premier Grand Cru in the Saint-Emilion classification. Nowadays, Stéphanie de Boüard - Rivoal manages the estate.
