2024 Château Angélus, St-Emilion

2024 Château Angélus, St-Emilion

New release

Capturing the energy and aromatic vibrancy of the vintage, this is a chiselled style of Angélus with a fluid and saline tension on the palate. There is charm and freshness but also a more serious mineral element that flows beneath the surface. Notes of violets, pomegranate, rhubarb lift on the finish which finishes with real vibrancy and tension.

Tasting notes

Vivid plum colour, cedar and gunsmoke on the opening, skilfully and carefully put together, slim through the palate, but this is very clearly finessed, sleek, with quiet confidence, and pumice stone texture, cherry pit, squid ink, damson, rosebud, Cabernet Franc dominant in terms of its floral aromatics. 39hl/h yield, 40th anniversary vintage of Hubert de Böuard. This will for sure be ready to drink earlier than many vintages of Angélus, but it is well structured and will age for many years to come. No chaptilisation.

94/100

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, cropped at a very honorable 40 hectoliters per hectare, the 2024 Angélus has turned out well, offering up aromas of dark berries, minty plums and violet, framed by a deft touch of toasty oak. Medium-bodied, ample and suave, it's polished and textural, with sweet but present tannins and creditable persistence on the finish.
