The 2011 Angélus has a lovely bouquet with ample red fruit, fireside hearth/ash and a touch of Earl Grey. Fine definition and lift here. The palate is very well balanced with supple tannins, fine bead of acidity, quite sensual for the growing season with a judicious plushness and a sense of breeding on the finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
94 Robert Parker
The 2011 Angelus is another winner from Hubert de Bouard. Supple and sexy with lots of blueberry and black raspberry fruit intermixed with licorice, barbecue smoke and camphor, this medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, sexy effort offers delicious drinking now, and promises to become even better over the next decade. It should keep for 15 or more years.
94 James Suckling
Intense nose of redcurrant and bramble jelly. Gains a lot of herbal and earthy complexity with some aeration. Very satisfying balance of full, powdery tannins and restrained richness. Quite sweet entry, but this turns decisively dry at the long, straight and elegant finish. Hint of warmth from alcohol, but this is part of the style. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.

Produttore
Château Angélus
A meno di un chilometro dallo splendido campanile di Saint-Émilion, Château Angélus è situato sulla collina esposta a sud del vigneto di 26 ettari. La tenuta è la rappresentazione e il proseguimento di otto generazioni di membri della famiglia Boüard de Laforest. Negli utlimi 10-15 anni è stata considerata una delle tenute più rinomate di Saint-Émilion e, mentre nella Classificazione del 1955 figurava come Grand Cru Classé, nel 1996 questo riconoscimento è diventato ancor più prestigioso, diventando Premier Grand Cru Classé. Per quanto riguarda i vini, i produttori sono stati pionieri nella ricerca di maggiore ricchezza e concentrazione, con note di ribes nero e prugna. Si tratta comunque di vini equilibrati, passati in legno, da gustare ogni giorno.
