2018 Chateau Angelus – Power and Precision in Saint Emilion

The 2018 Chateau Angelus represents a defining modern expression of Saint Emilion, combining concentration, polish, and architectural structure. Crafted from prime hillside vineyards, this vintage reflects both the estate’s historic pedigree and its contemporary vision, delivering depth and clarity shaped by one of the region’s most successful recent growing seasons.

Tasting Notes

Deep and expressive, the 2018 opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, graphite, and dark chocolate. The palate is dense yet refined, offering layers of ripe fruit supported by firm, finely textured tannins. Notes of spice and mineral persist through a long, composed finish, highlighting the wine’s balance and sense of place.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend is dominated by Merlot with a significant portion of Cabernet Franc, sourced from limestone-rich slopes surrounding the estate. Fermentation is carried out parcel by parcel, followed by aging in French oak barrels to integrate structure and aromatic complexity. The warm, generous 2018 season produced fruit of exceptional ripeness while retaining freshness and definition.

Investment & Collectibility

Chateau Angelus remains one of the most closely followed estates on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. The 2018 vintage has been widely recognized for its depth and longevity, reinforcing its standing among collectors seeking structured wines with long-term cellaring potential.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

Despite early-season challenges, ideal conditions later in the year resulted in a harvest of remarkable quality. Critics consistently point to the wine’s concentration, polish, and aging trajectory.

I loved the 2018 Château Angélus from barrel last year and it blew me away from bottle, epitomizing the new, fresher, more elegant style of the estate while still bringing classic Angélus richness and power. The 2018 is a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in new oak, with a portion of the Cabernet Franc in foudre. A vivid purple color is followed by a vibrant bouquet of blackberries, crème de cassis, crushed violets, spring flowers, and cedar pencil. Beautifully concentrated, full-bodied, and flawlessly balanced on the palate, it has gorgeous tannins, remarkable purity of fruit, and awesome length. I followed this bottle for multiple days and it only improved, picking up additional depth and richness, while never showing a hint of oxidation. Pure perfection, it's going to benefit from 7-8 years of bottle age and keep for 3-4 decades. This is a sensational, magical wine from this talented team, led by winemaker Emmanuelle d'Aligny-Fulchi. Comparing this to the more opulent 2005 and 2009 over the coming decades will be an incredible experience. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: November 2021. Drinking window: 2028 - 2058.

(Rating 97+) The 2018 Angélus is blended of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, aged mainly in oak barriques, 100% new, plus two new foudres. Deep garnet-purple in color, it struts flamboyantly out of the glass with stylish scents of black raspberries, boysenberries and Black Forest cake, plus nuances of rose oil, forest floor, dusty soil and cinnamon toast with a hint of cedar chest. The medium to full-bodied palate is carrying a little new oak at this youthful stage, framing the generous red and black fruits along with ripe, plush grape-skin tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and spicy. Give it 5-6 years in cellar for everything to marry, then drink it over the next 20+ years. Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Issue date: March 2021. Drinking window: 2026 - 2046.

The 2018 Angélus is striking. Cabernet Franc aromatics make a strong first impression. Vibrant and delineated, the 2018 is incredibly refined in every way. The move towards a bit less extraction really seems to let the purity of the fruit come through. The same is true of a reduction of oak. All the elements come together so effortlessly. The 2018 has all the richness readers expect of Angélus, with much more finesse and more overall vibrancy, a combination that works so well.Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: March 2021.
