Notas de "The Wine Advocate" 

Tasted blind as a vintage comparison at the Valandraud vertical, the 2012 Angelus has a forward and generous bouquet of mulberry, boysenberry, orange rind and slithers of tangerine. It is undoubtedly detailed and energetic, a subtle marine scent surfacing with continued aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded and supple tannin, slightly honeyed in texture yet with a keen line of acidity running through it. Impressive body and mass, yet primal, surly and broody. Perhaps only now is it starting to flex its muscles. This is a well crafted and opulent Saint Emilion with a long future ahead and it may warrant a higher score in the future. Those who cellar this for over a decade will see this in full flight. Tasted December 2016.

Notas: Château Angelus: A typical Saint-Emilion… Château Angelus is the story of the passionate involvement of the last four generations of the Boüard de Laforest’s family. The vineyards of Angelus are located closed to the famous village of Saint Emilion, next to the renowned south facing "pied de côte" site. The name of Angelus derives from a particularly ancient plot of vineyard, from which the men tending the vines were able to hear the angelus ringing out from all three angelus of the village churches, chapelle de Mazerat, the church of Saint Martin and and the church of Saint-Emilion. There, in the vineyards and in the wine processing areas, respect of traditional methods goes hand in hand with ongoing technical advancements so that each harvest, each vintage achieves its peak of perfection.That is why under the direction of Hubert de Boüard since the mid 1980’s, Angelus has created its reputation of producing one of the very foremost wines in its appellation. Elevated to Premier Grand Cru status in 1996, Angelus is clearly a château to seek out in all vintages. Located next to the town of Saint-Emilion and closed to the famous Ausone, Belair and Beauséjour, Angelus is made with Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Franc, (40%) A Famous Wine, with an undeniable constancy
