Angelus ''cuvée Hommage à Elisabeth Bouchet'' 1er Grand Cru Classé A Saint-Emilion, 2022

A striking Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé A from one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates, the 2022 Angélus ‘Cuvée Hommage à Elisabeth Bouchet’ is a highly sought-after expression of elegance, depth, and precision. Created as a tribute to a key figure in the estate’s history, it combines the power of a top Bordeaux vintage with remarkable finesse and pedigree.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, concentrated color with a polished, almost luminous intensity. The nose is typically layered and expressive, with dark berries, black cherry, floral tones, fine spice, and subtle oak complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, yet refined, with ripe tannins, impressive freshness, and a long, resonant finish that suggests excellent aging potential. The 2022 vintage should offer both immediate appeal and serious cellaring potential, with the balance to evolve beautifully over the next decade and beyond. As it matures, expect greater nuance, softer tannins, and more savory complexity to emerge.

Production
Sourced from the limestone and clay-rich terroirs of Saint-Émilion, this cuvée benefits from vineyards that favor concentration, freshness, and aromatic precision. Grapes are carefully hand-harvested and selected to ensure only the best fruit is used, reflecting the estate’s meticulous standards. Vinification is carried out with an emphasis on preserving purity and site expression, followed by aging in French oak to build texture, depth, and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with premium dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle risotto, or mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine’s aromas and structure to open fully.
