Tempo d’Angelus Bordeaux AOC by Château Angelus GCC

In the last thirty years, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest has constantly challenged practices and techniques for the benefit of his land and the unique characteristics of the wines grown on it, enabling Château Angelus to be recognised as one of the foremost properties in its appellation area. This recognition has been documented in one classification after another, the last of which awarded Château Angelus the status of Premier Grand Cru Classé “A”.

Made exclusively with vines belonging to Château Angelus, parcels acquired in 2017 located in Castillon-la-Bataille, Saint-Magne-de-Castillon, Sainte-Colombe and in the Francs sector, a few kilometers from Saint-Émilion on magnificent clay-limestone hillsides dominated by tuff and marl. Tempo d’Angelus is vinified in a cellar specifically designed for it, within the “Chai Carillon” complex, where it benefits from the latest technologies and all of Angelus’ expertise.

Tempo d’Angelus was conceived ‘as a step aside’, a transposition of everything that constitutes the Angelus universe of excellence into an accessible format.” – STÉPHANIE de BOÜARD-RIVOAL
