ARCHITECTURE OF WINE
CHÂTEAU ANGÉLUS HAS ACQUIRED A NEW WINERY IN LIBOURNE , FRANCE , FINELY DESIGNED BY ARCHITECT ERIC CASTAGNOTTO FROM THE FIRM ARCHITECTE DPLG
The cellar is used for making the second wine produced by Château Angélus , Carillon d ’ Angélus , as well as the latest arrival : Tempo d ’ Angélus . This new Château Angélus signature wine will be introduced in Quebec for the first time in November 2021 .
THE BALANCE BETWEEN HERITAGE & INNOVATION The old winery of Carillon d ’ Angélus - located on the estate - had become too cramped to accommodate new , more efficient , and more innovative equipment . Its location in a UNESCO World Heritage Site limited the possibilities of expansion and imposed strong architectural constraints . It was therefore decided to create a new winery from scratch .
A search for space to accommodate this new structure determined that it was not possible to find the necessary surface area for its construction in Saint-Emilion . The spectrum was thus widened to neighbouring communes , and that search led to selected grounds in Saint-Magne-de-Castillon .
