Description

Located in Saint-Emilion, Château Angélus quickly became known for its innovative cultivation methods that respect biodiversity. The Château is known for its short pruning and late harvests. They also differentiate themselves by their unique proportion of cabernet-franc vines, allowing them to create wines of character, which are delicate despite their long aging potential.

Tasting reveals an intense wine, dense and profound, expressing notes of licorice, small, well-ripened black fruits, and roasted aromas. A great producer of Bordeaux’s right bank.

Wine Advocate : “A classic blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Angélus reflects this estate’s continuing evolution with regard to ripeness, extraction and élevage choices, offering up attractive aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with hints of mint, potpourri, rose petals, vine smoke and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, with a velvety attack that segues into a core of pure, pillowy fruit framed by supple, powdery tannins, it’s cool and harmonious, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. This is a terrific effort that foregrounds the vintage and the terroir at their best.”
