ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The vineyard of Chateau Anglus is situated in a natural amphitheatre overlooked by the three Saint-Emilion churches. In the middle of this special site, the sounds were amplified and the angelus bells could be heard ringing in the morning, at midday and in the evening. They cadenced the working day in the vineyards and villages, calling the men and women to stop their labours for a few minutes and pray. Less than a kilometre from the famous Saint-Emilion bell tower, situated on the much-vaunted south-facing foot of the hill, Anglus has been the life work of eight generations of the Board de Laforest family.
In the first-ever classification of Saint-Emilion wines in 1954, Chateau Anglus was a Grand Cru Class. Already at the time, it benefitted from a solid reputation, which helped it survive the Bordeaux wine crisis of 1973 and take part in the oenological renewal of the 1980s. This was the context in which Hubert de Board de Laforest, a graduate oenologist from Bordeaux University, took advantage of this marvellous wines illustrious past, while being resolutely turned towards the future and launched and continued to implement an ambitious, innovative policy in favour of achieving excellence in wine growing and making.
