St. Emilion Gem – 2008 Chateau Angelus
- Jeb Dunnuck on 2008 Chateau Angelus
Chateau Angelus gets Bond Famous, that is James Bond! Well, that is in addition to having the prestige of a great quality wine! See Below for an image of: James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Vesper (Eva Green) in the train's dining car, drinking a bottle of Château Angélus.
Just a reminder, the winery was Premier Grand Cru Classe A in 2012! Chateaux with Premier Grand Cru Classe A status are considered in the same league as the First Growths in the Medoc, who were classified in 1855. Because of the extraordinarily high level of esteem awarded to First Growths, it’s easy to see why this is such a big deal. READ MORE

Critical Acclaim:
"The 2008 Angelus offers a still youthful, vibrant color as well as a classic Angelus bouquet of spice box, black currants, tobacco, and hints of white truffle. This elegant, silky effort is beautifully balanced, with sweet tannin and a great finish. It's going to keep for another two decades." JD Feb 2019

"The 2012 Angélus (55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc) is inky bluish purple in color and exhibits blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with some licorice, charcoal and graphite. It is full-bodied, ripe, and a great, great success for this estate. The tannins are silky and soft, and the wine can be drunk now or over the next 15 or more years. Very tiny yields of 34 hectoliters per hectare rendered a wine with 14.5% alcohol." RP Apr 2015
