Château Angélus 2014

Saint-Emilion - Premier Grand Cru Classé A 

95/100 Wine Spectator

Drinking window: 2020–2045

"Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2014 Angélus requires a bit of patience before it begins to reveal lovely aromas of lilac, kirsch, redcurrant jelly, and Black Forest cake, accented by nuances of graphite and menthol. On the palate, it is delicately intense; subtle floral and earthy notes complement the dark fruit flavors. Everything is supported by ripe, rounded tannins and a great sense of freshness, leading to a persistent finish marked by a lovely restraint. Already displaying distinct tertiary notes, it can be enjoyed now—though be sure to decant it for one and a half to two hours before serving."

 TERROIR

 The Angelus style is the marriage of a bold grape variety with an exceptional terroir. It is this unique character born of the southern slope of Saint-Emilion and its high proportion of Cabernet Franc that we like to find over the vintages. It is a composition reorchestrated each year, always in search of excellence.

 Château Angélus 2020 is composed of a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc.

 SERVICE

 Château Angélus should be served at a temperature of 15°C, in a red wine glass of the "Bordeaux" type. The ideal quantity is 15 cl.

For wines that have not been aged in barrels, decanting is not necessary. Aeration in a carafe is recommended when the wine is young and has been aged in oak barrels. For older wines, it is preferable to decant them a few hours before serving them. This can also be done for young wines in the context of aeration.
