2022 Chateau Angelus Premier Grand Cru Classe A, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 96

The 2022 Angelus has an understated nose, tightly wound black fruit, cedar and touches of pencil box. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite structured, perhaps with a little Cabernet Franc in the mix? Linear on the finish, you would not guess this to be from such a warm growing season. This really seems to benefit from the addition of the old Cabernet Franc vines. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London. [Neal Martin, 31/03/2026]
