CH ANGELUS ST EMILION is a renowned Bordeaux red wine from the esteemed region of St. Emilion, France. This wine is characterized by its rich fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and subtle earthy notes, reflecting the unique terroir of the area. It typically showcases a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a full-bodied and complex taste profile.
This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, rich stews, and aged cheeses. It complements roasted lamb, duck confit, and dark chocolate desserts, making it versatile for numerous culinary experiences.
2011 was a fairly classical vintage, and after austere early years it's now becoming approachable, full of life, finesse and precision. You can begin to see in this wine how Angélus opens up with some bottle age. There are touches of rose petal alongside still-intense damson fruits, and the liquorice through the mid-palate is coming to the fore. There's good flesh to the tannins, and the elegance is clear without being too serious. Angélus is a wine that never forgets how to be generous.
The 2011 Angelus is another winner from Hubert de Bouard. Supple and sexy with lots of blueberry and black raspberry fruit intermixed with licorice, barbecue smoke and camphor, this medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, sexy effort offers delicious drinking now, and promises to become even better over the next decade. It should keep for 15 or more years.
