Château Angelus 2011

Before 1990, Château Angélus was known as Château L'Angélus or L'Angélus, one of the most distinguished wineries on the Right Bank of the Gironde River in Saint-Émilion.

The estate has been under the ownership of the Boüard de Laforest family since 1909, when Domaine de Mazaret was passed down to Comte Maurice de Boüard de Laforest. It later expanded with the addition of Clos de L'Angélus in 1926 and a portion of Château Beau-Séjour Bécot in 1969.

The prestigious Château Angélus derives its name from the three Angelus bells that chime across Saint-Émilion’s hills, forming a symphony of sound from nearby churches.

Initially ranked as Premier Grand Cru Classé B in 1996, Château Angélus was elevated to the elite Premier Grand Cru Classé A status in 2012, making it one of only four estates in Saint-Émilion to achieve this esteemed classification.

Château Angélus captivates wine enthusiasts worldwide with its bold, full-bodied, and vibrant red wines. The 2011 vintage showcases a perfect balance of smooth tannins and refreshing minerality, expressing a pure and refined elegance. Aromas of blackberries, vanilla, and oak blend harmoniously with pronounced black fruit notes, creating a complex and structured profile.

On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, offering a dense, velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. It is best enjoyed within two decades, allowing its depth and complexity to fully develop.
