Marks and reviews

Vinum

Ruby red, with delicate Cabernet spice; dark and red fruits go hand in hand, joined by floral notes. Silky and fruity on the attack, then tighter, very linear, building intensity, showing good structure; the tannins make their mark, finely interwoven with the fruit. Red-fruited on the finish, fresh, with a peppery edge. An Angelus with drive and freshness.

Decanter

Beautiful fragrance on the nose, super perfumed and floral with sweet red fruits too, lifted and very welcoming. Creamy red cherries and bright strawberries. Round and filling, this has instant appeal with a generous push of crisp fruit but it’s more the texture and layering of elements here that is so wonderful. Feels precise and well detailed with finely woven tannins that have a connotation and almost thickness to them that many in the vintage don’t have. Classic, cool and super fresh but filled with crystalline fruit and so much elegance. Fun, fruity, stylish and just brilliant. Great mineral finish too. Fabulous. I visited Angélus during the harvest and saw first hand pristine berries. 3.65pH.

It requires no effort to find the bouquet of flowers in the perfume, followed by the discovery of licorice, black cherries, espresso, Valrhona chocolate, smoke, and plums on the nose. The palate is even better, showcasing an elegant display of red pit fruits. Silky and refined, the finish emphasizes purity, lift, vibrancy, and a strong sense of place, featuring a mineral-driven conclusion. The wine blends 60% Merlot, with 40% Cabernet Franc, 13.7%. Harvesting took place from September 11 to October 5. The wine is aging as follows: the Merlot is aged in 100% new, French oak, while half the Cabernet Franc is aged in new, French oak, with the other half of the Franc aging in foudres. Drink from 2029-2050. 94-96 Pts

Le Figaro Vin

A delectable bouquet combining ripe red fruits — with raspberry taking the lead — sappy flowers and shards of cocoa bean. Hypnotic and soothing, the palate invites daydreaming, carrying you far from the world’s troubles. Seductive and charming, the wine tirelessly calls for the next sip, driven by tender fruit, a noble bitterness and irresistible sapidity, all wrapped in a sumptuous, velvety, caressing texture. The finish is delightfully saline, with notes of fresh coffee, bringing this generous, expressive wine to a close.

Description

Characteristics and tasting advice for Château Angélus 2024

Tasting

Color
The color displays a deep hue with violet reflections.

Nose
At first sniff, a brilliant intensity imposes itself, marked by the generous maturity of the merlots. Gradually, the cabernet franc takes over with its subtle aromas of spices, mint, and flowers. Violet and peony underline this aromatic complexity, mixed with peppery notes.

Palate
The palate seduces with its juicy texture and beautiful energy. The tannins, rich and enveloping, evoke a touch of cashmere. The woody aging, perfectly integrated, brings structure and balance, auguring an excellent aging potential.

The aromatic intensity and finesse of a great Saint-Émilion wine

The property

Founded in 1782, the Château Angélus is an emblematic estate of Bordeaux, located in Saint-Émilion. Spanning 32 hectares, it has been managed by the de Boüard family for 8 generations. The vineyard, mainly planted with cabernet franc and merlot, benefits from a unique clay-limestone terroir on the southern slope of Saint-Émilion. The name "Angélus" comes from the bells of the neighboring churches, symbolizing the heritage and identity of the estate.

The vineyard

Located on the southern slope of Saint-Émilion, on the "foot of the slope", the Château Angélus vineyard flourishes on a particularly suitable clay-limestone terroir for the expression of Bordeaux grape varieties. The vines are on average 39 years old.

The wine

2024 is adorned with a bottle whose illustration pays tribute to the 40th vintage of Hubert de Bouärd at the head of the estate, but also the 10th made hand in hand with his daughter Stéphanie de Bouärd-Rivoal.

The vintage

After a mild and wet winter, the spring was particularly rainy, except for a brief respite during flowering. Fortunately, the months of July and August, hot and dry, favored the maturation of the grapes, bringing them aromatic richness and concentration. Despite a more unstable September, the harvest was able to take place under good conditions, with a satisfactory yield and beautiful grapes at the end.

Vinification and aging

The merlots are vinified in wooden and stainless steel tanks, while the cabernet francs ferment in concrete tanks. A cold pre-fermentation maceration (8°C) is carried out for 4 days to a week depending on the characteristics of the grapes. Fermentation takes place at temperatures that can reach 28°C, followed by a post-fermentation maceration between 28 and 30°C for 1 to 3 weeks. Aging continues for 22 months, in new French oak barrels with fine grain and medium heat for the merlots and some cabernet francs, and in 30 hl vats for the particularly remarkable cabernet francs.

The Blend

60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc.
