CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
Intense and enticing campfire smoke, this has beautiful rich fruits behind the grilled aromatics, and is open and just about ready to begin drinking. A lighter vintage in general across Bordeaux, but you see how Angléus overdelivers in these years, combining blackberry, redcurrant and blueberry fruits with orange peel and white truffle. Harvest September 25 to October 12th.

A super effort from proprietor Hubert de Bouard, this blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc exhibits sweet notes of chocolate, charcoal, blackberries, and jammy cherries in its round, opulent, fleshy personality. Yields were 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine achieved 13.5% natural alcohol. Low acidity and ripe tannin make for a voluptuous style of Angelus to drink now and over the next 10-15 years.
