CHATEAU ANGELUS, 2005
SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU
"A truly exceptional wine, which reached a three-digit score both during the 2005 horizontal tasting in Baltimore and during this mini-vertical in Montreal. This sensational, opaque, deep blue/purple wine reveals notes of vanilla, spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, with a hint of licorice. On the palate, it impresses with a thunderous cascade of ripe, rich, and concentrated fruits. It is full-bodied, multidimensional, and layered. The tannins are beautifully integrated but still present, and the wood, acidity, alcohol, etc., are all perfectly absorbed in this magnificent and majestic vintage of Angélus." - 100/100 Wine Advocate

History and anecdotes
For eight generations, the Château has been owned by the de Boüard de Laforest family. The Angélus vineyard is located in the heart of a natural amphitheater, dominated by the three churches of Saint-Emilion. In this privileged location, 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 Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the Saint Emilion classification. Today, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal runs the estate.
