Dark, polished fruit and haunting perfume define the 2016 Château Angélus, with layers of blackcurrant, plum and blackberry wrapped in sweet tobacco, subtle spice and a hint of floral lift. The palate is concentrated yet vibrant, its satin-like tannins and racy freshness driving a long, precise finish that promises even greater complexity with time.

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.
