The 2020 Angélus is shaping up to be tremendous. Bright and punchy, with terrific energy, the 2020 is more linear and focused than any recent vintages I can remember tasting. Crushed red berry fruit, iron, smoke, mint, chalk and dried herbs all build in the glass. In 2020, Angélus is less flashy than it can be. That is a very good thing, for those who can wait. Harvest took place between September 18 to 30. One of the major evolutions here in recent years has been the use of foudres to age the Cabernet Franc. Half of the Franc is now raised in large format oak, and that seems to bringing added freshness to the Grand Vin.

The 2020 Angélus has turned out superbly and underlines this estate's continuing shift to a more elegant, integrated style that offers a purer expression of its terroir. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, it unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, mint and subtle hints of licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered and vibrant palate that's deep, precise and penetrating, concluding with a mouthwateringly chalky finish. Some 120 hectoliters of Cabernet Franc, amounting to around 20% of the blend, were matured in foudre this year, which no doubt helps to account for the significantly reduced oak impact in the 2020.

Château Angélus
A moins d’un kilomètre de l’inoubliable clocher de Saint-Emilion, le Château Angélus est érigé sur le coteau orienté au sud de ce domaine de 26 hectares qui s’inscrit dans la continuité d’une lignée de huit générations de la famille Boüard de Laforest. Depuis 10 ou 15 ans, la propriété figure invariablement dans le peloton de tête des grands Saint-Emilion. Déjà reconnu Grand Cru Classé dans le classement de 1954, Angélus a accédé au rang de Premier Grand Cru Classé en 1996. Ses vins se sont positionnés en pionniers, défendant un profil plus riche et plus concentré aux accents de cassis et de prunes. Ce qui ne les empêche pas d’être des vins bien équilibrés et boisés, à apprécier tous les jours.
