About
Angelus Saint-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé “A” 2022 is a dry red wine crafted from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, sourced from the prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation in Bordeaux, France.

The 2022 vintage showcases the estate’s dedication to meticulous vineyard management and precision winemaking, resulting in a wine of exceptional structure and aging potential.
Producer
Less than a kilometer from the famous bell tower of Saint-Emilion, located on the southern side of the hill, the Angelus castle has been the lifeblood of the Bouar de Laforêt family for eight generations. In the first classification of Saint-Emilion wines in 1954, Chateau Angelus received the prestigious status of the Grand Cru Classe. Already at that time he had a good reputation for surviving the Bordeaux wine crisis in 1973 and participating in the resumption of viticulture in the 1980s.
Tasting notes
Angelus Saint-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé “A” 2022 opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries, intertwined with hints of violets, graphite, and delicate spice. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied and velvety texture, with finely integrated tannins and layers of dark fruit, licorice, and espresso. The finish is long, refined, and complex, with a lingering minerality and freshness that promise remarkable aging potential.
Pairing
This exceptional Bordeaux pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or aged cheeses, where its richness and structure complement deep, savory flavors. It also shines alongside truffle-infused dishes or wild mushroom risotto, enhancing the umami depth of the cuisine.

Chateau Angelus
Less than a kilometer from the famous bell tower of Saint-Emilion, located on the southern side of the hill, the Angelus castle has been the lifeblood of the Bouar de Laforêt family for eight generations. In the first classification of Saint-Emilion wines in 1954, Chateau Angelus received the prestigious status of the Grand Cru Classe. Already at that time he had a good reputation for surviving the Bordeaux wine crisis in 1973 and participating in the resumption of viticulture in the 1980s.
Cabernet Franc
A single-varietal Cabernet Franc wine has medium body and exhibit graphite, green bell pepper and red licorice notes, with darker wines showing more cigar and leather flavors.
Saint-Emilion
Saint Emilion is one of the key appellations of the Right bank as well all of Bordeaux. Due to the weather Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes are dominant here. Wines are saturated, fruity, with toasted aromas and even slightly sweet. Before falling in love with the dry Médoc wines, wine lovers usually dip their toes into the Saint Emilion ones first. Since 1955 the region follows the Premier Grand Cru classification system. Unlike the Left bank, Saint Emilion changes its wine house classification every 10 years.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
