Château Angelus
Château Angelus is
one of the largest and most prestigious St-Emilion estates and was
promoted to 1er grand cru
classé status in the 1996 St-Emilion reclassification. Passionately
managed for over four generations, Angelus is owned and run by two cousins,
Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, and Jean-Bernard
Grenie and is located in the centre-west of the St-Emilion
appellation, due west of St-Emilion town.
Angelus's vineyards, 57.8 acres, situated less than a kilometer away from the famous St Emilion steeple, enjoys a perfect southerly-exposed slope - Cabernet Franc (which makes up 48% of the blend) is grown at the bottom of the slope, where the soil is sandier and warmer, while the Merlot (50% of the blend) is grown in the limestone-rich clay soils at the top of the slope. The wine is matured in 100% new oak for 18 months. Rich, concentrated and complex, Angelus needs at least five years of bottle age before it should be approached.

Ch. Angelus shows a deep black-red almost to the rim. Slight cassis aroma on the nose, richer on the palate, with creamy oak, tannins and acidity quite pronounced, lovely sense of hidden depth to the ample fruit, just waiting to be come more expansive with time. Finishes quite well but still ... MORE Drink 2018-2038 . BBR Score: 17/20 Decanter Score: 18/20 Jancis Score: 17/20 Parker Score: 98/100 | ||||
