Château des Milles Anges, owes its name to the locality “Milange”, where one found the convent of the sisters of the Assumption, located next to the site of the new church of Saint-Germain-de-Graves, which was rebuilt in the 19th century in neo-roman style.

Mrs Van Ekris, seduced by the unique panorama bought the vineyard in 1994. The name “Chateau des Mille Anges” is in the memory of the little children who were taught here.
