Merchant's description

Angélus 2012 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the St-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. Owned by the Boüard de Laforest family, Château Angélus is one of the most prestigious wine producers in Saint-Émilion. The estate is famous for its sumptuous, long-lived wines that are highly sought-after. On the 2012 vintage. "More delicate than the 2010, but still showing power and depth, with aromatics of smoke, violet and peony. The purity of the aromatics continues with the precision of the flavours. Nothing shouts too loudly, with the same pulses of salinity on the finish that you find in the 2010, helping to stretch and slow things out. A real success, just starting to soften and show its colours. Harvest October 8th to 19th. This was the year of promotion to Premier Grand Cru Classé A." Decanter, 2020
