2013 Chateau Angelus Premier Grand Cru Classe A, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 12x75cl

Chateau Angelus

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 92

First released in the 1987 vintage, Carillon d’Angélus has since acquired its own distinct identity, separate from its bigger, brasher older sibling. Now with its own winery, Carillon is spread over the cooler plots of the Angélus estate, enabling this Merlot dominant blend to retain its vigour. Representing 20% of the Château’s production, its second wine still receives the same top-class treatment as its first. In turn, this is a highly respected wine that is appreciated for its juicy black fruit aromas, velvety tannins and timeless elegance.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Ian D'Agata

(62% merlot and 38% cabernet franc): Opaque dark ruby. Complex aromas of blueberry, mocha, underbrush and aromatic herbs. Sweet, fleshy, clean flavors of dark berries and chocolate-covered plums are complicated by oaky and peppery nuances at the back. This is a successful Angelus for the year--one that is less extracted than some recent monsters and benefited in overall balance because of it.

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

On the other hand, the opaque purple-colored 2013 Angelus, a brilliant blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc harvested between September 9 and October 3 (only 60% of the production was utilized), possesses good acidity as well as pure blueberry, mulberry and black currant fruit intermixed with notions of licorice, Christmas fruitcake, underbrush and forest floor. With medium body and more texture than is found in most 2013s, it should drink well for 8-10 years. This vineyard is meticulously manicured and the wine is brilliantly made by Hubert de Bouard.

Tasted blind. Mid, deep garnet. Light but well-balanced nose. Not the fruitiest, nor the most expressive. Red wine rather than a top St-Emilion? Dry finish that lasts a reasonable amount of time. (JR)
