2023 Château Angélus, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 60% Merlot; 40% Cabernet Franc.

This is a very sophisticated, cleverly conceived and intellectually engaging wine. The team at Angélus continue to experiment, looking for evolution in the face of climate change as well as for greater finesse. Hubert de Boüard explained that, because of the exceptional aromatics, they controlled the fermentation at a very low 22°C. This was after 10 days’ cold maceration at 2°C. In addition, the old-vine Cabernet Franc is handled in 30hl foudres, capturing more of the primary fruits. The outcome is an astonishing success.

The wine is bursting with energy and has also captured a quartz-like minerality and a most appealing salinity. The palate is fresh, pure and croquante, with alluring red fruits to the fore over the counterpoint of the marine notes. The palate finishes with an air of discretion.

Drink 2029 - 2052

About this wine

Château Angélus

Château Angélus is one of the largest and most prestigious estates in St Emilion. It was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A status in the 2012 reclassification. The de Boüard family has made wine here since 1782. The estate is now run by eighth-generation Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, who took over from her father, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, and uncle, Jean-Bernard Grenié, in 2012. It is located in centre-west of the St Emilion appellation, due west of the medieval town.

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
