2020 Chateau Angelus – Modern Precision from Saint-Emilion

The 2020 Chateau Angelus reflects the estate’s evolution toward clarity, balance, and refined power. As one of Saint-Emilion’s most closely followed properties, Angelus continues to shape its identity through meticulous vineyard work and a polished, contemporary style that highlights terroir expression alongside depth and structure.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, graphite, and subtle floral tones. On the palate, it is concentrated yet poised, offering layers of dark fruit framed by supple tannins and vibrant acidity. Notes of cocoa, spice, and crushed stone emerge through a long, composed finish that underscores the precision of the 2020 vintage.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend is led by Merlot with a significant portion of Cabernet Franc, sourced from south-facing limestone and clay slopes surrounding the estate. Fermentation is carried out parcel by parcel, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The warm, dry conditions of 2020 delivered small, intensely flavored berries while preserving freshness and aromatic purity.

Investment & Collectibility

Chateau Angelus remains a cornerstone of Right Bank Bordeaux collecting. The 2020 vintage combines strong critical attention with a modern profile built for long-term aging, supporting sustained interest among collectors and fine wine investors.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2020 growing season was marked by early ripening and careful harvest timing, producing wines of concentration balanced by energy. Critics consistently praise the vintage for its structure and finesse.

The flagship from this great estate, the 2020 Château Angelus checks in as 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in new barrels. It’s darker and more concentrated compared to the 2019, offering beautiful, medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of redcurrants, black raspberries, sandalwood, spring flowers, and smoked tobacco. With just about flawless balance, it's not the blockbuster style of a decade ago, but it has gorgeous purity, ultra-fine tannins, a round, seamless mouthfeel, and a great, great finish. It's very much in the classic, balanced, structured style of the vintage, and a solid 7-8 years of bottle age are recommended. It will have 30+ years of prime drinking.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2020 Angélus has turned out superbly and underlines this estate's continuing shift to a more elegant, integrated style that offers a purer expression of its terroir. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, it unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, mint and subtle hints of licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered and vibrant palate that's deep, precise and penetrating, concluding with a mouthwateringly chalky finish. Some 120 hectoliters of Cabernet Franc, amounting to around 20% of the blend, were matured in foudre this year, which no doubt helps to account for the significantly reduced oak impact in the 2020.Reviewed by William Kelley, Issue date: April 2023. Drinking window: 2027 - 2060.

The 2020 Angélus is shaping up to be tremendous. Bright and punchy, with terrific energy, the 2020 is more linear and focused than any recent vintages I can remember tasting. Crushed red berry fruit, iron, smoke, mint, chalk and dried herbs all build in the glass. In 2020, Angelus is less flashy than it can be. That is a very good thing, for those who can wait. Harvest took place between September 18 to 30. One of the major evolutions here in recent years has been the use of foudres to age the Cabernet Franc. Half of the Franc is now raised in large format oak, and that seems to bringing added freshness to the Grand Vin.Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: May 2021. Drinking window: 2025 - 2060.
