From the clay-limestone soils of Saint-Émilion, Château Angélus 1985 combines Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Aged in oak barrels, it seduces with its notes of tobacco, cherry and spices, with a velvety palate and a mineral freshness. Ideal with game or beef.
A family estate rooted in the slopes of Saint-Émilion, where exacting standards and tradition have shaped exceptional wines for generations.
- Terroir : 27 hectares of clay-limestone and sandy-clay soils, facing due south, at the heart of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation.
- Vinification : A meticulous blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in French oak barrels for a structure that is both powerful and elegant.
Appearance – A garnet red robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density, revealing the maturity and depth brought by time.
Nose – A complex bouquet combining notes of blonde tobacco, candied black cherry, soft spices and a hint of undergrowth, underpinned by a chalky minerality.
Palate – A velvety, almost unctuous texture, balanced by a lively acidity and a long finish, where aromas of liquorice and leather unfold, with a saline hint on the retro-olfaction.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its complexity.
A generous vintage, marked by an ideal climatic balance, yielding wines that are both full-bodied and structured, now at their peak.
- Aging Potential : Drink now, with optimal storage in a cool cellar (12–14°C) away from light.
