Description
The 2012 Angélus (55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc) is inky bluish purple in color and exhibits blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with some licorice, charcoal and graphite. It is full-bodied, ripe, and a great, great success for this estate. The tannins are silky and soft, and the wine can be drunk now or over the next 15 or more years. Very tiny yields of 34 hectoliters per hectare rendered a wine with 14.5% alcohol. Robert Parker

The 2012 Chateau Angelus, a gem from the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, is a testament to the art of fine winemaking. This vintage, with its deep, dark ruby hue, unfolds savory layers of ripe plum and blackberry, interwoven with rich chocolate and licorice notes. The palate is greeted with an opulent texture, where soft acidity and abundant fine tannins create a harmonious balance. The wine's full body and intense flavor profile culminate in a lasting finish with a tannic grip that promises further evolution. Decant for two hours to unveil its full spectrum of aromas and enjoy with hearty dishes like roasted lamb or beef bourguignon for a truly exquisite experience.
