{"title":"Angélus","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Angélus is one of the most famous names on Bordeaux's Right Bank, a Saint-Émilion estate whose plush, aromatic reds have a devoted following.

The name comes from a plot where you could once hear the angelus prayer ring out from three surrounding churches, and a bell still sounds across the vineyard today. Angélus sits in a natural amphitheatre on south-facing lower slopes, where clay and limestone hold water and keep the fruit fresh through warm summers. Hubert de Boüard drove its rise to Premier Grand Cru Classé A in 2012, before the estate chose to leave the Saint-Émilion classification in 2022.

Harvest is carried out by hand in small crates, parcel by parcel, allowing precise selection at optimal ripeness, followed by rigorous sorting in the cellar.\n\nVinification typically takes place in a combination of temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete vats, with each parcel vinified separately to preserve its identity. Extraction is carefully managed to capture depth and silkiness without over-extracting tannins. The wine is then aged for around 18–22 months in predominantly new French oak barrels, where it gains additional texture, aromatic complexity and refinement before blending and bottling at the château.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Angélus 2018 is a natural partner for refined, flavourful dishes.
