Chateau Angelus Premier Grand Cru Classe A

Angelus 2012

Angelus

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 96.0

As one of the largest and most lauded Saint-Émilion estates, Angélus creates opulent, perfumed and complex wines laced with silky tannins and elegant fruits. A layered, complex nose, it boasts an abundant flavour profile of red berries and floral notes that are “bursting at the seams”. Despite only comprising a third of its blend, Cabernet Franc takes centre stage, adding a smattering of spice and aromatics to the wine. The remaining Merlot (c.51%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.2%) contributes to a traditional Bordeaux blend that is both luscious and well-rounded.

Inky with black core. Sweet charred oak is the first impression. And the second. But there is finesse to the tannins and some nice (hidden) dark fruit. Firm grip on the finish and just about fresh, though it is very hard to judge this wine now when the oak is all dominant. Tannin texture is very fine and I am sure this will become elegant if you can be patient enough and wait for the oak to subside. Too oaky for my taste but I know it will be admired by others. (JH)

Clear depth of fruit expression at 10 years old, blueberry, black cherry, raspberry, liquorice, cocoa bean, with grilled cedar oak still dominant but welcoming, adding glamour, confidence and depth to the flavour without being overwhelming. This is a brilliant wine, succulent and at the begining of a long drinking window. This was the year that Angélus was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A, in a move that it turned out would only last a decade until they withdrew from the classification, giving an extra frisson from this vantage point.
