2025, Château Angélus, SAINT-ÉMILION, 1er Grand Cru Classé 'A'

The pureness of fruit is exceptional, with a long and linear palate of wonderfully curated raspberry, cherry and blueberry aromas and flavours. Medium-bodied. You almost don’t see the tannins, but you know they are there. So silky and endless. It has the core of fruit of the best of the vintage.
99-100/100 James Suckling.

The depths are immediately apparent, clear polished stones, liquorice root, olive pit, espresso, cappuccino, full of the luscious signature of the estate, clutches of sage and freshly cut herbs, savoury with a pumice stone climb through the palate. Benjamin Laforêt technical director. The Boüard-owned Château Bellevue plots have been included in here as of 2022, and you can imagine that this vintage really benefited from its limestone soils. As of 2026 vintage Angelus will be made in the new cellar. 2034-2048.

The 2025 Angélus is a superb contemporary Grand Vin. Aromatic, vibrant and wonderfully fresh, the 2025 dazzles from start to finish. Blood orange, mint, white pepper, rose petal and chalk weave through layers of vibrant red-toned fruit. Here, too, the Grand Vin impresses with its noble purity and understated grace. I can't wait to see how this ages. 2035-2065.
