The attack on the palate is suave, while the smooth, round and enveloping tannins are cashmere-like in texture. The finish, thanks to the homogenously high quality of the Cabernet Franc, displays notes of spice and menthol, together with lovely freshness and tension.
This wine is the mirror-image of the Angélus terroir: chiselled and precise.
It also offers immediate tasting appeal, which complements well the wine’s elegant style. This is a wine that will go down as one of the great Angélus vintages.
2019 Blend: 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes: The 2019 Château Angélus from Bordeaux, France is a wine that exudes elegance and power. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet of dark berries, black cherry, and a touch of graphite, followed by subtle hints of vanilla and spice from the oak. On the palate, this full-bodied wine boasts a deep, rich purple hue that hints at its intensity. The first sip reveals a complex blend of ripe black fruit, plums, and blackcurrant, which then give way to a harmonious mix of spices and a touch of earthiness. The tannins are well-structured and integrated, providing a smooth and lingering finish.
This 2019 vintage showcases the true character of Château Angélus, with its blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc grapes. It is a wine that will continue to develop and evolve over the next decade, making it a true gem in any cellar.
