Château Angélus is an iconic estate located on the south-facing slopes of Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux. Owned by the de Boüard de Laforest family since 1909, it is now led by Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, representing the eighth generation. The estate’s philosophy combines meticulous vineyard management with precise vinification to express the exceptional terroir of the property.

Wine Description

A blend of Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Franc (40%), the Château Angélus 2022 displays a deep, vibrant purple hue. The nose is intense and multi-layered, revealing notes of ripe blackberries, blueberries, lilacs, graphite, and hints of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and structured, yet remarkably elegant, with silky tannins and a long, persistent finish.
