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.

There’s no two ways about it; Ch. Angélus is a sexy wine. Super-concentrated ripe, black cherries on the nose lead on to a glorious palate of luscious, rich damsons and plums. Big, soft but grainy tannins add structure and the finish is long and powerful. This isn’t exactly a delicate wine but it would be a rewarding buy for any cellar. MORE

This is truly stunning and deliciously decadent. It has the amazing ability to be incredibly intense and concentrated yet to still to have freshness, poise and elegance. The St Emilion classification may currently be suspended but it is safe to say that this 2005 is of First Growth quality (and at a third of the price). Outstanding.
