ANGELUS 1988

Wine 1988 1er Grand Cru Classé A  Bordeaux Saint Emilion

Tasting notes: After a wet winter and spring, the particularly dry month of September favors the concentration of tannins and color. The grape skins are very thick. The wines of a deep color, combine race and finesse with a magnificent precise tannic structure.

Grape variety / Blend: Merlot (~50%), Cabernet Franc (~47%), Cabernet Sauvignon (~3%) (variations are possible from one vintage to another)

Maturity: Must be drunk

Food and Wine Pairing: Beef and venison

(2009) Amazing aromas of truffles and fruit, with dried flowers too. Full-bodied and very soft, with ultravelvety tannins. Long and sumptuous. So much beautiful fruit and complexity. A joy to taste.

Dark and rich. A bit dry and horsey. Thick and polished. Very dry finish. Nicely balanced and refined. Long. Vital and quite fresh. Drying end. Best value.

Château Angelus

Château Angelus was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A of 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 Château Angelus vineyard is located on the hillside, a steep south-facing slope. The clay-limestone soil rests on a limestone base. The grape variety composition is 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 begun 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.
