2014 Chateau Angelus – Precision and Elegance from Saint-Emilion

The 2014 Chateau Angelus reflects the refined, structured style that has elevated the estate to the forefront of Saint-Emilion. Known for its meticulous vineyard work and emphasis on Cabernet Franc, Angelus consistently delivers wines that balance power with clarity, and the 2014 vintage highlights this approach with remarkable finesse.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of black cherry, plum, violet, and graphite emerge immediately, followed by subtle notes of cedar and cocoa. The palate is layered and poised, with finely grained tannins framing ripe dark fruit and savory undertones. Fresh acidity provides lift through a long, polished finish, underscoring the wine’s composure and aging potential.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend is driven by Cabernet Franc alongside Merlot, sourced from clay-limestone soils on the Saint-Emilion plateau. Fermentation is conducted in temperature-controlled vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The 2014 growing season offered steady ripening and cool nights, preserving aromatic precision and structural balance.

Investment & Collectibility

As one of Saint-Emilion’s most collectible estates, Chateau Angelus commands sustained global demand. The 2014 vintage offers both approachability and long-term cellaring capacity, making it an attractive acquisition for collectors seeking modern Right Bank excellence.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2014 Bordeaux vintage is recognized for producing wines of purity and definition. At Angelus, these conditions translated into a release praised for its harmony and detailed expression.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 94+) Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2014 Angélus needs a fair bit of coaxing to begin to reveal very pretty aromas of lilacs, kirsch, redcurrant jelly and Black Forest cake plus nuances of graphite and menthol. The palate is delicately intense with soft spoken floral and earth notes complimenting the black fruits, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long with compelling restraint. Sporting a good amount of tertiary nuances, it can be enjoyed right now, but make sure to decant it a good 1.5 to two hours prior to drinking. Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown. Issue date: October 22, 2020. Drinking window: 2020-2045.

Vinous

The 2014 Angélus is now really beginning to blossom. It has an outstanding bouquet with plush but delineated black cherry and cassis fruit, crushed violet and just a hint of pencil lead. There is wonderful focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with tightly knit black fruit, graphite and spice. There is weight and presence, but it is effortlessly counterbalanced by the freshness and acidity, whilst the finish if extraordinarily long. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
