In 1955, most wines are relatively austere and slightly rough texture. They are also deep, full, colorful, with a cellaring potential relatively axtraordinaire ... Overall Success in Saint Emilion.

Château Angelus was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A de Saint-Emilion in 2012 (previously it had been 1er Grand Cru Classé B since 1954). It shares the top of the Saint-Emilion wine classification with Châteaux Ausone, Cheval Blanc and Pavie.

The vineyard of Château Angelus is located on the hillside foot, a steep south-facing slope. The clay-limestone soil rests on a limestone base. The grape varieties consist of approximately 51% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. In certain years such as 2003, the proportion of Cabernet Franc even exceeds that of Merlot! The wine matures for 18 to 22 months in new barrels. Since 2018, Château Angelus has been initiating its conversion to organic farming, which should be completed in 2023.

The greatest vintages of the château are Angelus 1988, Angelus 1989, Angelus 1990, Angelus 1993, Angelus 1994, Angelus 2000 and Angelus 2001.
