ABOUT THIS WINE

The wine is created to offer the quality and expertise associated with Château Angélus in a more approachable style, designed for earlier enjoyment. The de Boüard de Laforest family has a long history in winemaking, with the current generation leading the estate with a focus on integrity and quality.
