William Kelley for Robert Parker

The 2020 Angélus has developed superbly , underlining this estate's ongoing shift towards a more elegant, integrated style that better expresses its terroir. In the glass, the Angélus unfolds aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, mint and subtle hints of liquorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered and lively palate that is deep, precise and penetrating, ending with a chalky finish. Around 120 hectolitres of Cabernet Franc, representing around 20% of the blend, were aged in barrels this year, which undoubtedly contributes to the 2020 containing significantly less oak.

Château Angélus The history of the prestigious Château Angélus is both one of the oldest and one of the youngest in Bordeaux. The origins of the de Boüard winegrowing family date back to 1544, but the château as we know it today was not founded until 1909. At that time, Maurice de Boüard de La Forest bought a parcel of L'Angelus and named his estate after it. Since then, the vineyard has had a rich tradition and has been passed down from generation to generation. The name “Angélus” comes from the three bells of the nearby church, which ring every morning, noon and evening and are said to bring good luck to the vineyards. Since 2012, it has belonged to the small circle of four premiere Grand Cru Châteaux in Saint-Émilion. Today, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal is the eighth generation to run the château. The dedicated winemaker is committed to protecting the environment and species and works in the vineyard and cellar using sustainable methods that are close to nature. The Grand Vin of Château Angélus is one of the most sought-after and expensive wines of Saint-Émilion and regularly contributes to the prestigious awards of the wine world.
