Beautiful, ripe and sweet fruit on the nose with plums and hints of cedar and vanilla. Extremely floral, too. Medium body, creamy and refined tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows lovely balance and harmony for the vintage. A blend of 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. Second wine of Château Angélus. Drink after 2022.
Producer
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.
