Product description
Produced in the Saint Emilion region of Bordeaux, France, Chateau Angelus 2012 marks a historic milestone as the vintage that saw the estate promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé (A). The property has been managed by the Boüard de Laforest family for eight generations, with Hubert de Boüard de Laforest and his daughter Stéphanie Boüard-Rivoal currently overseeing a philosophy centered on precision, integrity, and a deep-seated passion for the unique terroir of the south-facing slopes.
Wine Description
This vintage displays a dense, opaque purple-blue colour and a complex aromatic profile featuring black cherry, mulberry, and blackberry intertwined with sophisticated notes of graphite, barbecue smoke, truffle, and sweet spicy oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful yet maintains a silky texture, offering a multidimensional mouthfeel with flavors of ripe plums, cassis, and dark chocolate.

Food Pairing
The structured body and rich fruit profile of this Saint Emilion make it an ideal companion for classic meat dishes such as roasted leg of lamb with herbs de Provence, grilled ribeye, or roasted duck. Its earthy undertones also pair exceptionally well with mushroom-based recipes, such as a truffle risotto or wild mushroom pasta.
