Description

Château Angelus is a Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe A of Saint-Emilion. Alongside Ausone, Cheval Blanc Pavie and Figeac, it is a First Growth of the Right Bank.

It has been managed by the de Bouard family, which has been in Bordeaux for over 700 years. However, the chateau as we know it today was only born in 1909, when Maurice de Bouard de La Forest purchased a parcel of vines known as L’Angelus, and named the estate as such.
The Angelus parcel is in proximity to three local churches. Those working in the vineyard hear bells throughout the day which inspired the name of the chateau, its logo and the bell sculpture on the property.

Château Angelus has a distinctive and particular style, thanks to its almost equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with just a hint of Cabernet Sauvignon. Its terroir of sand, clay and limestone also plays an important role in shaping its inimitable characteristics.

Tasting Notes

A brilliant wine that signposts this estate's evolution under Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, the 2021 Angélus is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot, with fully half of the old-vine Cabernet Franc maturing in foudres rather than 225-liter barriques. The result is a wine of unprecedented purity and finesse, unwinding in the glass with compelling aromas of plums, raspberries, rose petals, vine smoke, blood orange and warm spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate with a rich and fleshy core that entirely conceals its structuring chassis of ultra-refined tannins.
