Expert's opinions

(6-2007) This 7,500-case blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc is one of the strongest wines of the vintage. A deep bluepurple hue is accompanied by classic aromas of smoky blueberries and blackberries as well as incense and floral notes in the background. A beautiful texture, opulence, flamboyance, and purity characterize this stunningly deep, full-bodied effort, another great success from proprietor Hubert de Bouard.

Tom Cannavan (01-2005) Dramatically dark, vibrant, intense purple/black. Quite closed at present, but then a dramatically dark, tight, tightly-wound core of black cherry, dark chocolate and spice emerges. Immediately powerful impression. On the palate, a big, striking liquorice and dry black cherry and plum fruit floods over the tongue. It is medium-to full-bodied and has a real grippy, bitter edge of tight, muscular tannins that clamp down and coat the teeth. Lots of spice and a bitterness of dark chocolate add drama and texture into a long finish. Clearly well-structured and full of extract, but has a s Certain freshness and keenness too.

Château Angelus
Château Angelus

Château Angelus was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A of 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 Château Angelus vineyard is located on the hillside, a steep south-facing slope. The clay-limestone soil rests on a limestone base. The grape variety consists 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 initiated 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.
