Product details
Château Angélus St. Émilion Bordeaux Red Blend 2014 is a testament to the vision and dedication of Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, who has tirelessly refined winemaking practices to highlight the estate's unique terroir. As a Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" property, Château Angélus exemplifies excellence in every bottle. The 2014 vintage faced early challenges with a tricky spring and difficult summer, but the determination to read the vines and adapt to their needs paid off. A golden and warm autumn allowed the Merlot to achieve optimal ripeness and the Cabernet Franc to fully mature, resulting in a wine that embodies precision and elegance.

As the wine evolves, it reveals a sophisticated harmony of well-integrated tannins, vibrant tension, and a fresh finish. With 50% Cabernet Franc in the blend, the wine showcases an elevated elegance, adding depth and complexity to its long, graceful finish. Perfectly balanced and beautifully structured, this wine reflects the exceptional growing season and meticulous craftsmanship, promising enjoyment now and for decades to come.
