"In the last thirty years, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest has constantly challenged practices and techniques for the benefit of his land and the unique characteristics of the wines grown on it, enabling Château Angélus to be recognised as one of the foremost properties in its appellation area. This recognition has been documented in one classification after another, the last of which awarded Château Angélus the status of Premier Grand Cru Classé "A".

Anmeldelser af Ch. Angelus St-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2016 

99/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"With deep color, the wine offers some truffle, earth, florae and dark, red pit fruits in the incense. On the palate, the wine has the feel of well-worn, fine hotel linen with refined, sexy fruits and concentration. There is vibrancy to the fruits and velvetiness to the texture, coupled with depth, complexity and length."

99/100 Jean Marc Quarin

98+/100 Robert Parker
"The 2016 Angélus is composed of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, aged 18 to 22 months in new barrels and foudres. Deep garnet-purple colored, it drifts effortlessly out of the glass with sensuous notes of lavender, candied violets, garrigue, Ceylon tea and iron ore with a core of warm black cherries, mulberries, ripe plums and aniseed plus wafts of cedar chest and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the perfumed fruit whispers of great intensity and depth, with the vivacious fruit well knit into the plush, seductive frame of velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. Still very tightly wound with amazing tension at this stage, it truly needs a good 6-8 more years in bottle to deliver the fully expressed layers that this soft-spoken, profound beauty promises."

98/100 Vinous
"The 2016 Angélus is a total stunner. Despite its late bottling in September 2018, the 2016 is simply magnificent. Soaring aromatics and layers of bright, vibrant fruit are two of the main signatures in the 2016. The tannins, so often hard in young Angélus, are almost impossibly refined. Pomegranate, blood orange, raspberry jam, wild flowers and mocha are some of the many notes that race through the 2016. All the elements fall into place in a memorable, exquisite Saint-Émilion that is clearly one of the wines of the year. Don't miss it!"

98/100 Andreas Larsson, Blind Tasted

97/100 Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2016 Château Angélus is incredibly elegant and finesse-driven, with a soaring perfume of crème de cassis, white flowers, crayon, forest floor, and spice. Compared to the 1996 by the Angélus team, it has a deep, layered style, its oak is beautifully integrated, there are ample tannins, and despite leaning toward the finesse-driven side of the spectrum, it has thrilling depth of fruit and length. It’s a brilliant wine from this estate that will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 30+ years or more. The blend of the 2016 is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, brought up all in new French oak."

97/100 Decanter
"A wonderful Angélus, rich in the character of this vintage. Stunning length on the silky tannins. This extends outwards, and the architecture is very much more linear than circular (as it is in some vintages), with a lovely freshness and power. I just love how effortless this feels, with deeply intense black fruits and a dried herb edge. The flesh isn't overt but absolutely present. Likely to take on some more weight over time and it will certainly take its time to reach its perfect drinking window. Wonderful sense of energy, power and intensity, yet it's so drinkable now. The 100% new oak is very well-integrated, a brilliant success."

Bag om Château Angélus 

Ch. Angelus har navn efter lyden af kirkeklokker, som i gamle dage kunne høres på slottets vinmarker.

Familien de Boüard, der ejer Château Angelus, har været i Bordeaux i 700 år. Som vinslot er Angelus dog af nyere dato, og det var først med Hubert de Boüards overtagelse i 1989, at Angelus for alvor gav lyd fra sig.

Den kvalitetsfanatiske Hubert, universitetsuddannet under berømte Émile Peynaud, begrænser høstudbyttet ved grøn høst og fremmer druemodningen/fotosyntesen ved at øge løvvæggens areal.

Lanceringen af tredjevinen ”N° 3 d’Angelus” i 2007 har fået kvaliteten af slottets to topvine helt op at ringe:

Siden 2012 er hovedvinen fra Angelus én af blot fire vine med klassifikationen 1er Grand Cru Classé A. Slottets frugtcharmerende 2. vin, Carillon d’Angelus, er forbløffende lækker og flot anmeldt. Et must i topåret 2016!
