“The 2024 Angelus is very fine. It is the first vintage I have tasted that captures the newer approach at Angelus, one where the wine are not as extracted as in the past. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather and menthol fill out the layers effortlessly. Here too, the wine shows superb balance and real textural presence. The blend is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, with the Merlot being raised in 80% new oak and 20% once filled barrels, and the Cabernet Franc in equal parts foudres and new smaller French oak barrels. The 2024 is mid-weight, classy and polished.” |

“A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, cropped at a very honorable 40 hectoliters per hectare, the 2024 Angélus has turned out well, offering up aromas of dark berries, minty plums and violet, framed by a deft touch of toasty oak. Medium-bodied, ample and suave, it's polished and textural, with sweet but present tannins and creditable persistence on the finish.” 90-93, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Apr 2025
