Ripe black plum, cedar and tobacco lead the 2011 Château Angélus, framed by smoky espresso, dried violets and a graphite edge. Medium to full in body for the vintage, it shows polished yet firm tannins, fresh acidity and a long, savory finish where dark berry fruit, spice and mineral notes linger with impressive poise. This is a structured, classically styled Angélus that emphasizes finesse over sheer power.

Château Angélus is the flagship grand vin of this historic Saint-Émilion estate, a Merlot–Cabernet Franc blend rooted in a warm, south-facing amphitheatre of clay-limestone soils that accentuates ripe fruit and early ripening. Defined by an unusually high proportion of Cabernet Franc for the Right Bank, it is known for combining lush, dense, creamy texture with floral lift, spice, freshness, and long ageing potential, expressing both power and refinement from its iconic hillside terroir.
