The 2019 Angélus was bottled in September 2021, later than many other wines of this vintage. This is very precise on the nose, offering blackberry, dried iris petals, a little graphite and a touch of oyster shell, and the marine influence is more noticeable than before. The palate is beautifully balanced, the 40% Cabernet Franc very expressive and squarely in the driving seat. It lends this wine ample freshness and, as mentioned before, makes it stylistically quite akin to Château Figeac. Displaying fine structure toward the finish, this Angélus is full of tension thanks to a pH of 3.60 (previously, it was around pH 3.85, according to Hubert de Boüard) and comes with a very sustained finish. Seriously impressive, though it will require patience.

The 2019 Angélus bursts from the glass with a rich, dramatic nose of cherries, licorice, sweet spices and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, layered and vibrant, its broad and velvety attack segues into a layered, concentrated mid-palate that's underpinned by tangy acids and fine, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. It's a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Its seamless, pure profile reflects the subtle shift chez Angélus away from the rich, toasty style of the 1990s and 2000s toward greater elegance and precision.

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.
