The vineyard is located to the west of the municipality of Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name on the famous "Pied de Côte" site (at the foot of the hill). In 1924, Maurice de Boüard de Laforest bought the three-hectare Clos de l'Angélus vineyard. From here you can hear the Angelus ringing (traditional morning chimes) from the three churches in the area at the same time: the chapel of Mazerat, the church of St Martin of Mazerat and the church of Saint-Emilion. The de Boüard family can look back on more than 700 years of history in Bordeaux. The new owner took over the neighbouring Château Mazerat, which had been in the family's possession since 1850, as well as other estates. After the Second World War (1939-1945), the estate was given its current name. It was one of the first clients of oenologist Michel Rolland (*1947).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
