Infos produit

The bell on the Château Angelus label recalls the moments of contemplation of the eponymous prayer. She is the symbol of Castle Angelus. Even if it is touched up with gold and modernized behind its elegance, it expresses the values of tradition and high standards, in the service of the reputation of Château Angelus.

Avis d'expert

84 / 100

Wine Spectator

(10-1994) Well-made and straightforward. Mineral, tobacco and fruit aromas and flavors, medium body and delicate firm tannins with a silky texture.

3 / 5

Michael Broadbent

(07-1990) Soft and fleshy for a 1981.

The grape variety is composed of about 51% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. In some years as in 2003, the share of Cabernet Franc even exceeds that of Merlot! Mature wine 18 to 22 months in new barrels. Since 2018, the castle Angelus initiates its conversion to Bio which should be completed in 2023.
