Chateau Angelus Premier Grand Cru Classe A

Angelus 2008

Angelus

Case Format: 1x75cl

Max score: 95.0

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.

Richard Hemming MW

Luscious new-oak scent still leads the nose, with rich black fruit that has a slightly confected edge to it. Grainy tannins give a tight finish, and the persistence is still oak-centric in flavour profile. (RH)

Tightly structured even at 10 years old, this is fully oaked with turbocharged brambly fruit underneath. Every time you question the dominance of the grilled herbs and sweet cedar, the damson fruit and acidity give a fresh impetus to the palate, carrying the whole thing forward. Well crafted and undoubtedly makes an impression, with long ageing potential. (NB: Angélus had not yet been upgraded to 1er Grand Cru Classé A status in St-Emilion in 2008. It was upgraded in 2012.
