Château Ángelus

from €381.80

Chateau Angelus, a distinguished Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A, acquired its name from the audible sound of the three Angelus bells chiming in the nearby village churches, which can be heard in the vineyards. Positioned advantageously, both Angelus and its second wine, the Carillion of Angelus, perfectly showcase the harmonious blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This velvety wine exhibits remarkable ripeness and a pleasantly fresh essence, with prominent notes of flowers, red fruit, vanilla, and liquorice.

"The 2016 Angélus is composed of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, aged 18 to 22 months in new barrels and foudres. Deep garnet-purple colored, it drifts effortlessly out of the glass with sensuous notes of lavender, candied violets, garrigue, Ceylon tea and iron ore with a core of warm black cherries, mulberries, ripe plums and aniseed plus wafts of cedar chest and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the perfumed fruit whispers of great intensity and depth, with the vivacious fruit well knit into the plush, seductive frame of velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. Still very tightly wound with amazing tension at this stage, it truly needs a good 6-8 more years in bottle to deliver the fully expressed layers that this soft-spoken, profound beauty promises." - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
