Decanter, January 2022

Beautifully expressive nose, really so welcoming with hints of sweet red cherries, raspberries, milk chocolate and touches of perfume too - soft but really defined. On the palate there is such charming grip from the...

Redcurrants, sweet tobacco and flowers with some sandalwood. Very perfumed and floral. So pure. Full-bodied, yet so refined and layered, with a soft, compact palate and a crushed-velvet mouth-feel. Poised fruit at the...

Based on a final blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Château Angélus is knockout stuff, and while I'm not sure it matches the perfect 2018, it's not far off. Gorgeous notes of redcurrants, blueberries...

Intellectual hedonism is the name of the game here. Opaque ruby in color, the first thing you notice is all the just picked, spring flowers before moving on to all the smoke, fennel, espresso, black and red fruits and...

The Wine Independent, May 2023

Composed of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Angelus is deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out with showy notes of candied violets, star anise, and Sichuan pepper, leading to a core of juicy black plums...

Grilled oak notes, this is bursting with rich damson, blueberry and blackberry fruits. Stretches out slowly in the palate, showing nudges of liquorice, fennel, bitter chocolate and olive paste, coming in waves but each...

Vinous, February 2022

The 2019 Angélus was bottled in September 2021, later than many other wines of this vintage. This is very precise on the nose, offering blackberry, dried iris petals, a little graphite and a touch of oyster shell, and the...

Vinous, February 2023

The 2019 Angélus has a Cabernet Franc-driven nose, touches of Earl Grey and ash infusing the almost sultry black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, taut and crisp, quite a fine arching structure that...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2022

The 2019 Angélus bursts from the glass with a rich, dramatic nose of cherries, licorice, sweet spices and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, layered and vibrant, its broad and velvety attack segues into a layered, concentrated...

The 2019 Angelus Bordeaux Blend from Saint Emilion stands out with its impressive composition and expert craftsmanship. This vintage, produced by Angelus, consists of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, showcasing a balanced expression of these varietals. The wine has garnered high praise, achieving multiple scores of 98 from notable reviewers like James Suckling, Jeb Dunnuck, Jeff Leve, and The Wine Independent.

James Suckling highlights its "redcurrants, sweet tobacco and flowers," noting its "crushed-velvet mouth-feel" and advising to try it after 2029. The Wine Independent's Lisa Perrotti-Brown describes it as "deep garnet-purple in color," with "showy notes of candied violets" and a "palate [that] delivers loads of earthy layers."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, with a score of 96, praises its "rich, dramatic nose of cherries, licorice, sweet spices and dark chocolate," noting a shift towards "greater elegance and precision." Decanter aligns with this view, awarding the wine a 98 and appreciating its "soft but really defined" nose and "softly chewy tannins."

Vinous, with a score of 97, comments on its "marine influence" and likens it stylistically to Château Figeac, emphasizing its "tension" and "sustained finish." Jane Anson, scoring it 97, highlights its "great definition and purity of expression," describing its tannins as "confident but tender."

Jeff Leve refers to it as "intellectual hedonism," pointing out its "cashmere tannins and vibrancy," predicting it will be "one of the top vintages of Chateau Angelus." Overall, the 2019 Angelus is celebrated for its complexity, balance, and potential to age gracefully, making it a remarkable choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
