A new release from the prestigious Bordeaux producer, Hommage à Elisabeth Bouchet is a special cuvée only made in the best vintages. This is the first release from the stellar 2016 vintage made from old vine Cabernet Franc. Named in honour of Elisabeth Bouchet, great-grandmother of Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, the current CEO of Chateau Angélus. Produced in very small quantities, this one is for the cellar.

Chateau Angelus
A Right Bank Institution
This prestigious Saint-Émilion estate produces superb Right Bank Bordeaux and has been in the de Boüard family since 1782. Spanning 39ha, the Château Angélus estate is planted to 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and full conversion to completely organic farming began in 2018.
The estate's vines are positioned with perfect southern exposure on a sloping vineyard where the soils on lower potion are sandier and the upper portion richer in limestone and clay - perfect for both Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Along with the Grand Vin, a second wine, Le Carillon d’Angélus, as well as a third wine, No 3 d’ Angélus, are also made.
