50 % Merlot, 47 % Cabernet Franc, 3 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Eine grosse Ernte mit mehr als 100'000 Flaschen. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Grosses Bouquet, geprägt von reifen Cabernets, dunklen Röstnoten, pflaumigen Eindrücken, legt an der Luft permanent zu. Im zweiten Ansatz; Cassis, Mokka, Lakritze und viel dunkle Edelhölzer. Im Gaumen eine mächtige Delikatesse, also von feinen Eindrücken bis hin zum Aromenpower ist die ganze Bandbreite da. Die Grundaromatik bewegt sich zwischen blauen bis schwarzen Beeren, die Tannine reich aber auch schon angerundet, aber auch verlangend, der Nachklang ist und bleibt auch noch lange schier überaromatisch. Ein grosser spannender Angélus mit einer grossen Spannung. Ich fand hier viele Parallelen zum 1998er und so kann dieser 2015er vielleicht auch einmal bei der Maximalwertung landen. 19/20 2025 – 2060

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Angélus is a little closed to begin, soon blossoming into a wonderfully fragrant perfume of raspberry preserves, ripe black plums and chocolate-covered cherries with suggestions of Darjeeling tea, candied violets, spice cake and cinnamon stick with a touch of aniseed. Full-bodied, the palate is fabulously opulent, delivering mouth-coating black and red fruit layers with loads of floral sparkles and a seductively velvety texture, finishing with great length and tension.

The 2015 Angélus has a calm, cool and collected bouquet of tightly wound black fruit that unfurls with aeration to reveal blackberry, gravel and pencil box notes; classic, almost Left Bank in style, and delivered with real panache. The palate is exquisitely balanced with fine but grippy tannin, layers of black and red fruit tinged with vanilla and perfect acidity. The harmonious, sensual finish is very alluring. What a stunning 2015 this is going to be! Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

Château Angélus
Less than a kilometer from the memorable Saint-Émilion bell tower, Château Angélus sits on the south-facing hillside of the 26-hectare vineyard. The estate stands as a representation and continuation of eight generations of the Boüard de Laforest family. This has consistently been one of the most esteemed Saint-Émilion estates in the past 10 to 15 years, however, in the 1954 Classification while they were already awarded as a Grand Cru Classé, the property was upgraded to Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1996. Their wines have been pioneered to be richer and more concentrated, with accents of black currant and plum fruit. They are nonetheless, well-balanced, oaked wines to enjoy every day.
