Om Château Angelus Saint-Emilion Grand Cru AOC 2022

Beliggenhed: St. Emilion
Beplantet areal: 39 ha 
Plantede druesorter: 50 % Merlot, 47 % Cabernet Franc og 3 % Cabernet Sauvignon
Fadmodning: 18-24 mdr. på 100 % nye barriquefade

Ch. Angelus har navn efter lyden af kirkeklokker, som i gamle dage kunne høres på slottets vinmarker.

Familien de Boüard, der ejer Château Angelus, har været i Bordeaux i 700 år. Som vinslot er Angelus dog af nyere dato, og det var først med Hubert de Boüards overtagelse i 1989, at Angelus for alvor gav lyd fra sig.

Den kvalitetsfanatiske Hubert, universitetsuddannet under berømte Émile Peynaud, begrænser høstudbyttet ved grøn høst og fremmer druemodningen/fotosyntesen ved at øge løvvæggens areal.

Fra 2012 og frem til 2022 var Angelus én af blot fire vine med klassifikationen 1er Grand Cru Classé A. Slottet valgte imidlertid selv at udtræde af klassifikationen, men det er stensikkert at niveauet forbliver ren verdensklasse. Se bare denne nye årgang 2022, der ligger og flirter med de 100 points hos The Wine Cellar Insider.

Anmeldelser af Château Angelus Saint-Emilion Grand Cru AOC 2022

98-100/100 The Wine Cellar Insider
Deeply colored, the wine is all about its elegance in the texture. The fruits offer a level of purity and refinement that was not present in older vintages. Perfectly balanced, vibrant, long and intense, the wine is incredibly sensuous, velvety, and silky. The level of concentration remains, but the sensation here is now one of sensuality, balance, and sophistication. The silky, pure, red and black pit fruits with a cool touch of orange rind remain with you for close to 60 seconds. Fermentation at cooler temperatures and no sulfur during the fermentations helped maintain the wines elegance and purity. The wine blends 60% Merlot, and 40% Cabernet Franc, 14.5% ABV, 3.65 pH. Harvesting took place, September 6 - September 28. Drink from 2027-2060.

So many beautiful primary fruit aromas. Al dente. Peaches. Very floral. Aromatic. Full-bodied and extremely fine tannins with length and beauty that show incredible depth. Superb brightness and reality. Exciting. Cabernet franc freshness and dynamics come through now, even though the blend is 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc.

Château Angélus 2022 has left me astounded, with its exquisite expression reminiscent of an Elie Saab haute couture masterpiece. Layers of floral and fruity aromas gracefully envelop the delicate body, evoking an otherworldly enchantment. The Foudre (five were used for the 2022 vintage) and gentle extraction grant it a Pinot Noir-like refinement, while the 40% Cabernet Franc radiates a confident elegance. Concealed within its seemingly light body lie silky strands of aroma, and I find myself wholly immersed in a world of waxberries, cherries, and exotic spices, utterly captivated. As the AMA says, the sound of the Angélus is the only remedy for sorrow.

The 2022 Château Angélus is made up of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc with a pH of 3.65. Deep garnet-purple colored, it prances out of the glass with flamboyant notes of red currant jelly, wild blueberries, cassis, and candied violets, followed by suggestions of jasmine tea, star anise, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is impactful from first sip, yet slowly expands in the mouth, ultimately over-delivering on the nose's promise with layer upon layer of perfumed black and red fruits, supported by super fine-grained, silt-like tannins, finishing long and achingly shimmery.

Looking at the Grand Vin, the 2022 Château Angélus is based on 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot that will spend 22 months in new French oak, with a portion of the Cabernet Franc aged in foudre. This estate doesn't put a foot wrong, and this is clearly a profound Angélus with a deep purple, almost blue hue, extraordinary notes of cassis, blueberry liqueur, acacia flowers, and scorched earth, full-bodied richness, building tannins, and a dense, concentrated mid-palate, all of which is grounded by a vibrant sense of freshness and purity. While older vintages were more closed and backward on release, this has a certain accessibility given its balance and purity, and I suspect it will offer incredible pleasure right out of the gate. It will evolve for 40+ years as well.

Deep crimson. Intense lifted dark plum, blackcurrant, grilled nut, hint marzipan aromas. Generous supple and sweet fruited with dense dark plum cassis, mulberry fruits, fine looseknit graphite tannins, lovely mid palate richness and fresh long mineral acidity. Finishes al dente firm with bittersweet chinotto cigar notes. Beautiful wine. 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc. Mostly new oak with some Cabernet Franc in large seasoned oak Foudres. 14.5% alc . 97-98+

Precision and freshness here, with fennel, aniseed, marzipan, cassis, incense, cigar, black cherry, mint leaf and ink, with a slow build of subtle aromatics, and a cooling uplift on the finish. An exceptional wine that will reward long ageing, but captures the luscious, exuberant quality of the vintage without ever stepping over the line. 100% new oak for the barrels, with 20% of the production (Cabernet Franc only) to be aged in larger oak casks. Organic farming (with their own farm growing produce for their restaurants and for vineyard treatments). This vintage also shows one of the benefits of leaving the classification, which has become official as of 2022 - the de Boüard family is able to expand the footprint for the main wine of Angélus this year with 3ha of Château Bellevue (which has now been officially split and passed entirely back into the hands of the co-owners the de Lavaud family), which brings some cool soil Merlot into the blend. Harvest September 6 to 28.

This estate's shift in the direction of gentler extraction and more reductive, less overtly oaky élevage continues, and this extreme vintage only underlines that. Fermented at cool temperatures (20 to 23 degrees Celsius), and with an increasing proportion of the wine's Cabernet Franc component matured in large wooden foudres, the 2022 Angélus wafts from the glass with deep aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with hints of iris, licorice and pencil lead. Full-bodied, deep and seamless, with a layered core of cool, vibrant fruit, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish, it's a brilliant young wine in the making. The 2022 is a blend of 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

The 2022 Angélus was cropped at 40hL/ha. It is aged partly in foudres (around half the Cabernet Franc, to be exact) and the remainder in new barrels, the Grand Vin with 14.45% alcohol and 3.65 pH. This takes a few minutes to unfold in the glass. Blackberry, iris petals and crushed stone notes are focused and delineated. There's opulence locked into these aromatics, but that is contained. The palate is medium-bodied with a mineral opening. Graphite and fresh tobacco thread through the layered black fruit, perhaps spicier than recent vintages. A gentle grip on the finish has some wood tannins to resolve, which should be addressed during its élevage. This will need several years in bottle, probably a decade; then I envisage this Saint-Émilion soaring.
