Decades of Preparation, Investment, and Hard Work
“A total blockbuster…[a] hedonistic bomb of a wine.”
“Wonderfully fragrant…fabulously opulent…seductively velvety.”
“Great wine…ever so agile and polished.”
Critical rhapsodies like these from Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, and James Suckling don’t happen by accident in Bordeaux.
They are the response when thousands of factors—and years of preparation—fall into place in a pitch-perfect vintage. And Château Angélus NAILED 2015, one of the best of this century in Bordeaux.
It’s mind-boggling to think, considering the hundreds of Grand Cru Classé masterpieces and Right Bank collectibles we’ve offered over the years, that this is OUR FIRST-EVER offer of Angélus, one of Bordeaux’s must-have collectibles. Our Master of Wine, Vanessa Conlin, worked directly with the château to secure this four-case parcel directly from their stocks.
Along with years like 1998, 2001, 2005, 2009, and 2010, 2015 was an EPIC Right Bank vintage. Right off the bat, the critical consensus was glowing and loud, with Vinous saying, “The warm, dry summer yielded opulent wines built on intense fruit and voluptuous textures. At their best, the 2015s are spectacularly rich, racy wines loaded with personality.” Wine Advocate proclaimed it a 95-point vintage, boasting “a raft of sensual Saint-Émilions” with “complex and seductive aromatic profiles.” For Jane Anson of Decanter, it was “predominantly a victory for the Right Bank…for consistency of achievement you have to go to Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.”
The 2015 Angélus displays it all: a grand terroir whose vines average 38 years of age, a fanatical dedication to maximizing the property’s potential, and a vintage for the record books. Whether you’re making a fiduciary decision or just an investment in pleasure it’s a thrill to own a wine like this.
