Château Angelus Unveils Cathedral-Inspired Underground Vault for Wine Production
Château Angelus, a prestigious winery in Bordeaux, France, has introduced a new underground vault designed to enhance its wine production process. The vault, inspired by cathedral architecture, features stepped walls of pale stone and oculi in the ceiling, allowing natural light to filter through. This design, created by architect Olivier Chadebost, aims to improve the vinification process by delicately infusing and slowing the extraction of the estate's signature cabernet franc and merlot grapes. The new cellar will open with the 2026 vintage, continuing the winery's tradition of using religious imagery, such as the bell tower and bell emblem on its labels.
