    Product description

    Château Angélus is a Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé superbly located in a natural amphitheatre on the south-facing slope of St-Emilion. Made with a large proportion of Cabernet Franc Ch Angelus is wonderfully powerful yet elegant.

    Complex aromas of blueberry, cassis, crushed violets and tertiary aromas when matured. Medium-bodied and generous with smooth tannins and a great length.

    Awards

    This is another sleeper of the vintage from Hubert de Boüard. The 2006 reminds me somewhat of the 2001, perhaps not quite as lush at this state, but underrated as a vintage at this property. Dense purple, with sweet boysenberry, blueberry and black-raspberry fruit, licorice, chocolate and a touch of barbecue smoke, a bit of graphite also makes an appearance in this full-bodied, opulent wine that seems to be maturing much like the 2001. Drink it over the next 20-25 years.
