Standing tall in Saint-Émilion, Château Angélus epitomises Bordeaux's winemaking excellence, crafting wines of grace and complexity that reflect the estate's storied history.
Hubert de Boüard de Laforest of Angélus marks his 40th vintage in 2024 - a milestone that his daughter, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, wanted to celebrate in style. The 2024 vintage is a tribute called “The Rebel”, symbolising a taste for adversity and challenge.
What the critics say:
"The 2024 Angelus is very fine. It is the first vintage I have tasted that captures the newer approach at Angelus, one where the wines are not as extracted as in the past. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather and menthol fill out the layers effortlessly. Here, too, the wine shows superb balance and real textural presence. The blend is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, with the Merlot being raised in 80% new oak and 20% once-filled barrels, and the Cabernet Franc in equal parts foudres and new smaller French oak barrels. The 2024 is mid-weight, classy and polished."
"Vivid plum colour, cedar and gunsmoke on the opening, skilfully and carefully put together, slim through the palate, but this is very clearly finessed, sleek, with quiet confidence, and pumice stone texture, cherry pit, squid ink, damson, rosebud, Cabernet Franc dominant in terms of its floral aromatics. 39hl/h yield, 40th anniversary vintage of Hubert de Böuard. This will for sure be ready to drink earlier than many vintages of Angélus, but it is well structured and will age for many years to come. No chaptilisation."
