Angel worship has a long history dating back to 11th century monastic custom, but the tolling of a midday bell is attributed to Pope Callisto III, who ordered a prayer for protection against Turkish raids in the 1400s. The vineyard of Château Angélus is located in a natural amphitheatre overlooking the three churches of Saint-Emilion. In the middle of this special site, the sounds of the angel bells could be heard ringing in the morning, at noon and at night, inviting men and women to stop their labours for a few minutes and pray. The bell on the Château Angélus label recalls the call to prayer and the moment of devotion.
