The 2001 Château Angélus is a Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé from the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Considered a major sleeper of its vintage, the 2001 is a standout wine from a year generally overshadowed by the legendary 2000. Made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (around 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc for this year), the wine is noted for its plush, concentrated and seductive style, offering aromas of chocolate, black truffle, liquorice, espresso and black and blue fruits. It shows impeccable balance, a velvety texture and refined, softening tannins that lead to a long, rich finish. The damaged label does not affect the quality of the wine inside, which is in its plateau of maturity.

Chateau Angelus
A Right Bank Institution
This prestigious Saint-Émilion estate produces superb Right Bank Bordeaux and has been in the de Boüard family since 1782. Spanning 39ha, the Château Angélus estate is planted to 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and full conversion to completely organic farming began in 2018.
The estate's vines are positioned with perfect southern exposure on a sloping vineyard where the soils on lower potion are sandier and the upper portion richer in limestone and clay - perfect for both Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Along with the Grand Vin, a second wine, Le Carillon d’Angélus, as well as a third wine, No 3 d’ Angélus, are also made.
