Producers: Château Angélus

Chateau Angelus (second wine Carillon d'Angelus) - do you have to give a recommendation for this Saint Emilion at all? Within a few years, L'Angelus has risen to the absolute top of the great Bordeaux wines, so that from the end of the 80's you can buy any vintage without hesitation. Unfortunately the prices of an Angelus also rose dramatically. It is interesting to note that the cuvée consists of only 50% Merlot, the rest almost 100% Cabernet Franc with only small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon. Hubert de Bouard is the thinker behind this label. With his other estate La Fleur de Bouard in the Lalande de Pomerol appellation, he is now also causing a stir there. The top cuvée Le Plus de La Fleur de Bouard produced there is one of the best in Bordeaux. As in many successful wineries of the Bordelais, Chateau Angelus - as on all Hubert de Bouard estates - consults Michel Rolland as a consultant. As oenologist and at the same time laboratory owner, he has the fundamental knowledge necessary to produce top quality wines. What happens here on Angelus has to be experienced. Vintages like 1989, 1990, but also wines like the 1997 are simply sensational and often mark the top of Saint Emilion. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
