A 300cl double magnum from Château Angélus, the 2014 vintage represents the estate`s dedication to both Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with a balanced split of 50% each. Located in the Saint-Émilion appellation, the winery is renowned for its rich history and recognition as a Premier Grand Cru Classé A. The growing season observed a cool summer followed by an extended warm autumn, facilitating the advancement of Cabernet Franc`s ripening. This wine, exhibiting an alcohol content of 13.5%, underwent ageing in 100% new French oak barriques. It presents characteristics of blackberries, blue flowers, and hints of toasted vanilla. The larger format promises a more gradual evolution of its complex, earthy notes, emblematic of the Hubert de Boüard stewardship.

Deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 Angelus bursts on the scene with bold suggestions of baked plums and blackberry preserves followed by hints of sandalwood, cigar box, and cardamom. The medium to full-bodied palate is rich and plush, with great tension to lend lift though the long earthy finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown5th March 2024

The 2014 Angélus has an attractive nose with dark berry fruit, chocolate, singed leather and quite pronounced Cabernet Franc scents that lend complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a very silky texture. Not a powerful Angélus, this is instead refined with impressive mineralité towards the finish. Classy and sophisticated. Just one caveat: another bottle tasted blind, was less convincing, and felt a little attenuated towards the finish, hence my slightly more parsimonious score. Neal Martin19th March 2024
