WINEMAKER NOTES
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.
