Distillery Information

Chteau Anglus is a well regarded wine estate based in the Saint-Emilion region of northeastern Bordeaux. The property sits on a coveted spot just west of Saint-milion town, on a gentle, south-facing slope on the Saint-milion plateau. It produces a sumptuous, long-lived Merlot – Cabernet Franc wine that is regularly highly rated by critics. The chteau was given its name due of the presence of nearby church bells (an “anglus” is a Roman Catholic prayer bell) that could be heard chiming from the original plots of vineyards. The current chteau now hosts a framework of small bells on its rooftop. The site that is now Chteau Anglus was added to the small estate of the de Board de Laforest family in 1920 and, by 1985, the estate had 20 hectares (50 acres) of vines. Hubert de Board de Laforest, took over the company reins at this time and began to introduce more modern approaches to viticulture and winemaking. He also ushered in a considerably more sustainable approach to viticulture something of a rarity in Saint-milion at the time. The estate currently boasts a total of 39 hectares (96 acres) of vineyard.
