Description

Château Angélus 1976 is a rare mature Saint-Émilion from one of Bordeaux’s most historic estates, offering nearly fifty years of evolution in bottle. The warm, dry 1976 vintage produced richly fruited wines in their youth, and today this Angélus shows the graceful, tertiary complexity that only long ageing can bring. The nose is beautifully developed, with aromas of dried cherries, cedar, leather, old cigar box and subtle earthy spice.

On the palate, the wine is elegant and fully resolved, with softened tannins and a gentle, silky texture. Flavours of dried red fruits, forest floor, tobacco and sweet spice mingle seamlessly, supported by a persistent savoury finish. The depth achieved through long bottle ageing makes this a fascinating wine for lovers of mature Right Bank Bordeaux.

As one of Saint-Émilion’s most prestigious estates, Angélus has long been celebrated for its Cabernet Franc influence, which here adds lift and aromatic finesse even at this advanced age. The wine is delicate and nuanced rather than powerful, offering a contemplative, authentic glimpse into Bordeaux winemaking of the 1970s.

Food pairing: Best enjoyed on its own or with simple dishes that respect its maturity — roast chicken, mushroom dishes, mild cheeses or charcuterie. Drink now.
