    Incredible depth of fruit to this Angelus, which is dense yet also agile and energetic. There's just so much dynamic fruit and tannin structure. Makes you want to taste and taste. What a young wine! We will see if 2016 is better than 2015. Both are great.

    A wonderful Angelus, rich in the character of this vintage. Stunning length on the silky tannins. This extends outwards, and the architecture is very much more linear than circular (as it is in some vintages), with a lovely freshness and power. I just love how effortless this feels, with deeply intense black fruits and a dried herb edge. The flesh isn't overt but absolutely present. Likely to take on some more weight over time and it will certainly take its time to reach its perfect drinking window. Wonderful sense of energy, power and intensity, yet it's so drinkable now. The 100% new oak is very well-integrated, a brilliant success.

Château Angélus

Château Angélus

Located in the heart of a natural amphitheater dominated by the 3 churches of Saint-Émilion, working days in the Angélus vineyard were once punctuated by the sound of bells. In 2019, the Boüard de Laforest family became the owner of this estate, composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties.
