Chateau Angelus 2020
Produced in the Saint Emilion appellation of Bordeaux, France, Chateau Angelus is a Premier Grand Cru Classe estate situated in a natural amphitheatre. The Boüard de Laforest family has managed the property for eight generations, with Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal currently leading the estate's transition toward 100% organic viticulture. Their winemaking philosophy emphasizes a 'priestlike' devotion to the vines, aiming to exalt the essence of the terroir through a marriage of precision, purity, and balance.
Wine Description
This vintage presents an opaque purple black colour and opens with a captivating perfume of kirsch, Black Forest cake, ripe plums, and violets, underscored by hints of molten licorice, graphite, and black truffles. The medium to full bodied palate is a display of pure energy and tension, featuring a deep core of crunchy red and black fruits supported by exquisitely ripe, fine grained tannins.
