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. He also ushered in a considerably more sustainable approach to viticulture – something of a rarity in Saint-Émilion at the time. The estate currently boasts a total of 39 hectares (96 acres) of vineyard. This is broken down into roughly equal portions of Merlot (50 percent) and Cabernet Franc (47 percent) with three percent Cabernet Sauvignon – proportions that are broadly reflected in the eponymous \"grand vin\" (the estate's flagship wine bearing the château name). The grand vin is aged in new oak for around 18 months prior to bottling. It then spends at least five years in bottle before it is released, but can be aged for much longer as Angélus's concentration, weight and structure reguarly allows the wine to evolve over decades. The château's second wine, Le Carillon d'Angélus, was first made in 1987 and accounts for about 30 percent of the total production. A third wine, No.3 d’Angélus, is made with predominantly Merlot (around 85 percent). In all, around 100,000 bottles were produced annually from the estate. The winery also produces Tempo d'Angélus, a wine made from vineyard plots acquired by Château Angelus in 2017. These are situated in the neighboring regions of Castillon-la-Bataille, Saint-Magne-de-Castillon and Sainte-Colombe, all southeast of Saint-Émilion.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-07-24T17:30:34-04:00","created_at":"2023-07-19T09:38:21-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK1907","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Angélus","Region_Saint-Emilion","Source_Wevino0723","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":99899,"price_min":99899,"price_max":99899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43043312894090,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Château Angélus | Saint-Emilion","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":99899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9_d7fc81d2-99cd-4567-af2f-06d4ec5f9148.jpg?v=1689774052"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9_d7fc81d2-99cd-4567-af2f-06d4ec5f9148.jpg?v=1689774052","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Château Angélus | Saint-Emilion at CaskCartel.com","id":24816137142410,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.739,"height":261,"width":193,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9_d7fc81d2-99cd-4567-af2f-06d4ec5f9148.jpg?v=1689774052"},"aspect_ratio":0.739,"height":261,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9_d7fc81d2-99cd-4567-af2f-06d4ec5f9148.jpg?v=1689774052","width":193}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2020 | Château Angélus | Saint-Emilion\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s darker and more concentrated compared to the 2019, offering beautiful, medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of redcurrants, black raspberries, sandalwood, spring flowers, and smoked tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château Angélus\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 97  \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" color=\"#ff2a00\"\u003eJS\u003c\/span\u003e | 99\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux Blend Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Saint-Emilion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s darker and more concentrated compared to the 2019, offering beautiful, medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of redcurrants, black raspberries, sandalwood, spring flowers, and smoked tobacco.
