Château Angélus is one of the most prestigious estates in Saint-Émilion, owned by the Boüard de Laforest family since 1782. This release is the 2019 vintage of its second wine, presented here in a half-bottle. It is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, and reveals aromas of ripe, fresh fruit complemented by subtle oak notes. Despite its youth, the wine is approachable on the palate, revealing a good tannic structure underpinned by firm acidity. Excellent ageing potential.

Vinous
The 2019 Le Carillon d'Angélus has another high-toned and quite alcoholic bouquet - you can feel the warmth from the glass and it blurs the edges. The palate is more controlled with fleshy black fruit. The oak is well-integrated. Smooth in texture, the acidity is nicely judged, though the finish just lacks a bit of flair at the moment. Bottle age will benefit this wine. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023

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.
