Château Angelus Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” Saint-Émilion AOC

Name: Château Angelus Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" Saint-Émilion AOC - Vinumlector
SKU: FR0868

In the last thirty years, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest has constantly challenged practices and techniques for the benefit of his land and the unique characteristics of the wines grown on it, enabling Château Angelus to be recognised as one of the foremost properties in its appellation area. This recognition has been documented in one classification after another, the last of which awarded Château Angelus the status of Premier Grand Cru Classé “A”.

2019 will go down as one of the very top vintages made by the estate. This wine is the mirror-image of the Angélus terroir: chiselled and precise. It also offers immediate tasting appeal, which complements well the wine’s elegant style. This is a wine that will go down as one of the great Angelus vintages.

«This was my 35th vintage, and the more time passes, the more I’m convinced that the 2019 will turn out to be a great Bordeaux vintage. Personally, I believe that it could be greater than our 2018.» – HUBERT de BOÜARD de LAFOREST

Additional information

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 14.5%

APPEARANCE
A brilliant, intense, dark purple colour.

NOSE
Black fruit and wild cherry notes come bursting to the fore, while the oak is already completely integrated.

PALATE
The attack on the palate is suave, while the smooth, round and enve-loping tannins are cashmere-like in texture. The finish, thanks to the homogenously high quality of the Cabernet Franc, displays notes of spice and menthol, together with lovely freshness and tension.

AGEING
Aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels after cold pre-fermentation maceration.

PAIRING
It pairs perfectly with classic dishes like prime rib, roasted lamb, or duck breast.
