Lovely nose of fresh plum, almond and vanilla. Both rich and firmly structured, the biscuit-like texture married to beautiful ripeness. And this dynamic drives the wine over the palate and off into the distance. So vibrant at the long, stony finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP
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.
