Robert Parker
CHATEAU ANGELUS, 2001
SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU
"An undeniable underdog of the vintage, somewhat underestimated and overshadowed by the greatness of 2000, the Angélus 2001 is on a faster evolutionary trajectory than the 2000. Nevertheless, it is a rich, alluring, and succulent Angélus, with a dense plum/purple hue, abundant notes of chocolate, blueberry, and blackberry, characteristic floral aromas in its intense bouquet, and a lush, voluptuous, and opulent texture on the palate." - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes
For eight generations, the Château has been owned by the de Boüard de Laforest family. The Angelus vineyard is located in the heart of a natural amphitheater, dominated by the three churches of Saint-Emilion. In this privileged site, sounds are amplified, and in the past, one could hear the bells ringing the Angelus in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. In 2012, the Château was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the Saint-Emilion Classification. Today, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal runs the estate.
