"It reaches yet another level of class and purity. Such beauty in a world of power!"
"A generous bouquet, where powerful meaty notes mingle with a wave of freshly cut flowers, exhaling their sap in an enchanting breath. The palate is sumptuous, with a cashmere-like texture, as graceful as a dancer on stage. The exquisite liveliness of the acidity illuminates the wine and stretches it out into a subtle and persistent finish." (Le Figaro 2025) - Delivery in wooden cases is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the domain :
In the heart of the Côte de Saint-Émilion, in the appellation's most prestigious, south-facing sector, Angélus boasts one of the finest terroirs, covering 25 hectares in a single block. Taken to the top by Hubert de Boüard, outstanding winemaker and soul of the estate, it is now run by his daughter Stéphanie and nephew Thierry Grenié de Boüard, who have been at the helm since 2016. The estate has few equals. A high percentage of Cabernet Franc (40-50%), a major human and financial commitment (the new winery built in 2014 enables even more impressively precise wines to be made, the recent helium balloon system is there to counteract hail attacks) and, above all, meticulous attention to every detail. It all adds up to a highly demanding arsenal. These constant efforts earned the estate the supreme rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé A in 2012, an elite accolade that places it on a par with Cheval Blanc and Ausone. More recently, the switch to organic viticulture has completed the rise of the cru, which stands out for its singular sensuality and subtle aniseed notes found nowhere else. Fresh, elegant and supported by subdued tannins, Angélus remains one of the most complex Saint-Emilions on the Right Bank.

About the wine:
Deep, heady aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and licorice, enhanced by delicate floral notes. The palate is smooth, juicy, and succulent, with great aromatic complexity while remaining light in density. Magnificent, ultra-fine tannins glide with ease, giving this wine a silky, mineral expression. The combination of salted cherries, crushed stone, and fresh mint make this a joyful and indulgent wine, both energetic and refined. With great finesse and beautiful depth, this second wine is delicious and elegant, ready to drink now. 60% new oak barrels. pH 3.65. 2026-2046

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)
About the domain :
Promoted to the quartet of premier grands crus classés A in the latest Saint-Émilion classification in 2012, no château has come so far in the Bordeaux hierarchy in such a short space of time. Hubert de Boüard, a modernist winemaker, great communicator and international consultant, is a man of influence in local and national wine circles. 2013 saw the complete renovation and embellishment of the winery, now topped by a spectacular carillon. Hubert de Boüard has restructured his family's vineyard, giving himself all the assets needed to reach the appellation's quality heights. Thierry Grenié-de Boüard joined Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal at the helm of the château in 2017. The eighth generation is taking over, and significantly shaking things up. Angélus epitomizes the sophisticated, formal perfection of today's great Bordeaux wines. 10 kilometers from Angélus, a new winery will be used to vinify Carillon and N°3, the second and third wines, with dedicated plots. For the 2021 vintage, the château will make its organic label official.

About the wine:
The clays immediately bring obvious fullness through nuances of black berries, licorice, and peonies, lending charm and freshness. Elegant and linear, the wine presents itself with confidence, without a hitch, but with character and ambition. It is precise, harmonious, vigorous, and exciting! Such beauty in a world of power.

About the wine:
Dark purple color. Intense nose with pure, ripe fruit. Full-bodied on the palate, melting in the middle, very aromatic, the wine develops juiciness and depth, without any harsh tannins, with class in its overall style and depth on the finish. Good length.
