Information on the vintage 1962 red Bordeaux : Thoroughly upstaged by the quality, the sheer bravado of the preceding year. But because the 1961 vintage was very small and, in the light of the times, very expensive, the abundant crop of the very good 1962 following a satisfactory growing season, proved useful. I have always liked this now somewhat underrated and largely overlooked vintage.

From a bottle that apparently laid down in the same cellar for over 50 years. Cloudy robe showing its age. The nose was at first displaying aromas of mushrooms, wet earth, hay, and after opening up much more charming notes of faded rose, orange peel, cherry, truffle and spices. Lovely mouthfeel, very elegant with a nice acidity and gentle tannins. Good structure, balance, complexity and elegance.

Château Château Angelus

Château Angelus

Château Angelus was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A de Saint-Emilion in 2012 (previously it had been 1er Grand Cru Classé B since 1954). It shares the top of the Saint-Emilion wine classification with Châteaux Ausone, Cheval Blanc and Pavie.

The vineyard of Château Angelus is located on the hillside foot, a steep south-facing slope. The clay-limestone soil rests on a limestone base. The grape varieties consist of approximately 51% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. In certain years such as 2003, the proportion of Cabernet Franc even exceeds that of Merlot! The wine matures for 18 to 22 months in new barrels. Since 2018, Château Angelus has been initiating its conversion to organic farming, which should be completed in 2023.

The greatest vintages of the château are Angelus 1988, Angelus 1989, Angelus 1990, Angelus 1993, Angelus 1994, Angelus 2000 and Angelus 2001.
