The 2020 Château Angélus, Premier Grand Cru Classé A is an outstanding Saint-Émilion that highlights the elegance and precision of the 2020 vintage. Crafted from a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, it reflects the estate's limestone and clay-rich terroir with remarkable balance and refinement. The nose is expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, plum and raspberry, layered with violet, cedar, tobacco, liquorice and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with silky, finely integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of dark berries, cocoa, graphite and savoury herbs unfold across a long, polished finish, while the high proportion of Cabernet Franc brings freshness, aromatic lift and structure. Now entering a beautiful stage of maturity, it continues to offer excellent ageing potential for well-cellared bottles.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for collectors and lovers of classic Right Bank Bordeaux. Decant for 1–2 hours before serving and pair with roast lamb, beef fillet, venison, duck breast or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now for its developing complexity or cellar through the next 10–15 years.
