From a tiny 1.26-hectare estate situated between Angélus and Fonrazade, owned by Michel Gracia, the 2015 Les Angelots de Gracia is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, from more sandy soils, brought up in 100% new oak. It’s an amazingly rich, sexy, opulent Saint-Emilion that shows the character of the vintage beautifully. Giving up lots of ripe black fruits, toasted spices, chocolatey oak and earthy tobacco, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building, sweet tannin, moderate acidity, and a power-packed finish. It has loads of fruit and texture, yet still has underlying density and structure. Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, give bottle 2-3 years in the cellar, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following 15+.
