Angélus is one of the top estates in Saint-Émilion—Premier Grand Cru Classé A until 2022, and still a benchmark for the Right Bank’s more structured, Cabernet Franc–driven style. The 2020 vintage wraps up a stellar trilogy (2018–2020) with lower yields, great ripeness, and real aging potential.

The blend is around 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, with the Franc playing a big role in the wine’s backbone and aromatic profile—think graphite, dark florals, and spice. Fermentation is done in a mix of oak and concrete, and the wine sees a generous but balanced oak regime in aging.

2020 Angélus is powerful, dense, and built to age, but it’s also surprisingly polished and fresh for such a ripe year. It’s less about opulence, more about precision—especially compared to some earlier, more extracted vintages.

Whether you’re cellaring it or opening it young with a long decant, this is one of the Right Bank’s most consistent and recognizable wines—and a strong showing from one of the most talked-about Bordeaux vintages of the last decade.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 98
"The 2020 Angelus is shaping up to be tremendous. Bright and punchy, with terrific energy, the 2020 is more linear and focused than any recent vintages I can remember tasting. Crushed red berry fruit, iron, smoke, mint, chalk, and dried herbs all build in the glass. In 2020, Angelus is less flashy than it can be. That is a very good thing, for those who can wait. One of the major evolutions here in recent years has been the use of foudres to age the Cabernet Franc. Half of the Franc is now raised in large format oak, and that seems to bring added freshness to the Grand Vin."

Robert Parker

RP 97
"The 2020 Angélus has turned out superbly and underlines this estate's continuing shift to a more elegant, integrated style that offers a purer expression of its terroir. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, it unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, mint and subtle hints of licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered and vibrant palate that's deep, precise and penetrating, concluding with a mouthwateringly chalky finish. Some 120 hectoliters of Cabernet Franc, amounting to around 20% of the blend, were matured in foudre this year, which no doubt helps to account for the significantly reduced oak impact in the 2020." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 97
"A deep and rich nose, but so pure, clear and clean, it smells beautiful. The aromas really shine in the glass, too, with a texture that is smooth and supple, giving and generous. A powerful wine with excellent persistence from start to finish. Extremely youthful, tense and focused into one sleek line and, although you get ripe fruit – black berries, cassis, with some gorgeous bitter orange peel nuances – there’s so much minty freshness too. Concentration but no overt heaviness, discreet power. I love the chalky, milk chocolate nuances – well built and complex with a clear backbone and long ageing potential. Brilliant winemaking on show."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 99
"This wine brings together all the best elements of the vintage. It shows concentrated tannins laced with a velvety texture and a sustained intensity of black fruits. It shows a strong mineral element in the texture that gives complexity and a fine edge at the end. Obviously, it's a wine for long-term aging."
