2016 Chateau Angelus – Power and Precision from Saint-Emilion

The 2016 Chateau Angelus stands among the most accomplished modern releases from this renowned Right Bank estate. Crafted in Saint-Emilion, the wine reflects Angelus’ hallmark combination of richness, structure, and aromatic lift, shaped by meticulous vineyard work and one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated growing seasons.

Tasting Notes

The aromatics are immediately expressive, revealing dark plum, black cherry, crushed stone, and subtle floral tones. On the palate, the wine is dense yet finely tuned, with polished tannins supporting layers of ripe black fruit, cocoa, and savory spice. Fresh acidity and mineral tension carry through a long, focused finish, highlighting both power and refinement.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend is dominated by Merlot, complemented by a significant portion of Cabernet Franc, sourced from limestone-rich hillside vineyards surrounding the estate. Fermentation is conducted parcel by parcel, followed by aging in new French oak barrels. The 2016 vintage benefited from ideal ripening conditions, delivering concentration without excess.

Investment & Collectibility

Widely regarded as a reference-point vintage for Angelus, the 2016 shows exceptional aging potential and strong international demand. Its critical standing and consistent secondary-market performance make it a cornerstone for collectors focused on top-tier Bordeaux.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

A cool spring followed by a warm, dry summer and perfectly timed harvest resulted in wines of balance and depth. Critics consistently highlight the 2016 as one of the greatest vintages of the decade in Saint-Emilion.

The 2016 Château Angélus is incredibly elegant and finesse-driven, with a soaring perfume of crème de cassis, white flowers, crayon, forest floor, and spice. Compared to the 1996 by the Angélus team, it has a deep, layered style, its oak is beautifully integrated, there are ample tannins, and despite leaning toward the finesse-driven side of the spectrum, it has thrilling depth of fruit and length. It’s a brilliant wine from this estate that will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 30+ years or more. The blend of the 2016 is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, brought up all in new French oak. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck. Tasting date: February 28, 2019. Drinking window: 2023-2053.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 98+) Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2016 Angélus erupts from the glass with powerful notes of blackberry pie, ripe black cherries and juicy black plums with an undercurrent of star anise, rose petals, chocolate mint, pencil shavings and woodsmoke plus a waft of allspice. The palate is pure decadence. Medium to full-bodied, rich and generously fruited, this wine is by no means heavy—it positively glimmers with freshness and vivacity, lending an ethereal nature to all that richness and power, beautifully framed by velvety tannins and finishing with epic length. The generosity, layers and plushness make for an absolutely DELICIOUS drink right now, but I'd suggest waiting 3-5 more years for the fireworks to really begin. Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown. Issue date: October 22, 2020. Drinking window: 2024-2065.

The 2016 Angélus has an intense, powerful bouquet with copious black cherries, boysenberry, orange pith and iodine scents that threaten to overwhelm the senses. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a dash of black pepper and impressive detail and persistence on the finish. This is an outstanding Angélus that clearly requires several years in bottle to realize its full potential. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Reviewed by Neal Martin. Tasting date: January 2020. Drinking window: 2025 - 2048.
