DESCRIPTION

Château Angélus, Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, is a masterpiece of depth, harmony, and sophistication. Set on south-facing slopes over limestone and clay, its predominantly Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines produce remarkable richness and precision. The exceptional 2016 vintage, with a wet spring followed by a long, dry, sunny summer, delivered outstanding concentration, freshness, and balance. French oak aging reveals layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, graphite, and mineral freshness, supported by refined tannins and vibrant acidity. A powerful yet elegant expression of Saint-Émilion.

EYE

Deep garnet-red with violet reflections, intense and luminous.

NOSE

A captivating bouquet of blackberry, plum, and black cherry intertwined with notes of violet, graphite, mocha, and fine spice.

MOUTH

Sumptuous and layered, with silky tannins and exceptional length. The palate combines ripe dark fruit, cocoa, and mineral nuances, unfolding into a long, harmonious finish of great elegance and persistence.

PAIRING

Ideal with roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or duck breast with truffle sauce. It also pairs beautifully with earthy dishes such as wild mushroom risotto or aged cheeses like Comté and Saint-Nectaire.

Château Angélus

At the origin of Château Angélus is an exceptional vineyard at the gates of Saint-Émilion, on the famous south-facing “foot of the slope.” Since 1782, eight generations of the de Boüard de Laforest family have shaped the Estate through passion, determination, and a commitment to excellence. Today, Angélus encompasses 135 hectares, including 65 hectares in Saint-Émilion, with 30 hectares forming its historic heart. In 2012, Hubert de Boüard passed leadership to his daughter, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, the third woman in the family’s history to lead the Estate. Today, Angélus employs 170 people, produces eight cuvées, and owns hotels and a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the world's most famous fine-wine region, home to legendary châteaux, the 1855 Classification and elegant red blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as great dry and sweet whites.

Geographic position: Southwestern France, in the Gironde department around the city of Bordeaux, along the Garonne and Dordogne rivers and the Gironde estuary, about 50 km from the Atlantic. Around 270,000 acres of vines make it France's largest fine-wine vineyard.

Origin & history: The Romans planted vines here in the 1st century. The marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry Plantagenet in 1152 placed Bordeaux under English rule for 300 years, and its "claret" became England's favourite wine. Merchants (négociants) and the 1855 Classification built its global prestige.

Main appellations & varieties: Left Bank (Médoc, Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe, Pessac-Léognan, Graves) led by Cabernet Sauvignon; Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Fronsac) led by Merlot and Cabernet Franc; Entre-Deux-Mers and Sauternes for whites from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle.

Food specialties: Entrecôte à la bordelaise, Pauillac lamb, Arcachon oysters with Sauvignon Blanc, cèpes mushrooms, lamprey stew and canelés, the little caramelised cakes of Bordeaux.
