2018 | Angelus 6L

Owned by the Boüard de Laforest family, Château Angélus is one of the most prestigious wine producers in Saint-Émilion. It was one of the first estates in the region to use a high percentage of Cabernet Franc, dating back to the 1920s. The 2018 vintage is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc and reveals a certain aromatic purity, marked by black fruit notes. On the palate, a touch of sweetness gives way to an elegant tension, with velvety, refined tannins. Available here in a luxurious 6-litre bottle.

Producer Information

Château Angélus is a well regarded wine estate based in the Saint-Emilion region of northeastern Bordeaux. The property sits on a coveted spot just west of Saint-Émilion town, on a gentle, south-facing slope on the Saint-Émilion plateau. It produces a sumptuous, long-lived Merlot - Cabernet Franc wine that is regularly highly rated by critics.The château was given its name due of the presence of nearby church bells (an "angélus" is a Roman Catholic prayer bell) that could be heard chiming from the original plots of vineyards. The current château now hosts a framework of small bells on its rooftop.The site that is now Château Angélus was added to the small estate of the de Boüard de Laforest family in 1920 and, by 1985, the estate had 20 hectares (50 acres) of vines. Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, took over the company reins at this time and began to introduce more modern approaches to viticulture and winemaking.
