Chateau Angelus Tempo d’Angelus Bordeaux 2023

Château Angélus commands immediate attention in Saint-Émilion due to its unique position on the Pied de Côte—the desirable clay-limestone slopes that transition to the flat, sandy plain. The name itself is inspired by the three bells that chime the Angelus prayer, which can be heard from the estate’s famous triangular plot of vines.

This super unique terroir, where Merlot in particular thrives in rich clay and the Cabernet Franc finds mineral precision in the limestone, allows Angélus to create wines of immense power and structural intensity. Following its controversial but ultimately triumphant promotion to Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) status in 2012, Angélus solidified its position in the ‘Big 3’ with Ausone and Cheval Blanc – true icons of the Right Bank.
