Chateau Angelus 2022

Colour The wine is of a deep, beautiful purplish colour, adorned with dark purple highlights. Nose The nose allures with its freshness and rich aromatic palette that releases fragrances of fresh black fruit and violets. Palate Harmoniously combining smoothness, finesse and precision, the palate makes its mark with its freshness, salinity and fruity framework. The finish is lingering, mingling silky tannins and delicious spicy notes.

Château Angélus is an emblematic wine, taking its name from the winegrowers who heard the bells of three churches in the heart of the famous medieval town of Saint-Émilion ringing simultaneously. This legendary property of the appellation was founded in 1782 and, for 8 generations, the de Boüard de Laforest family has overseen this exceptional heritage.
