On the other hand, the opaque purple-colored 2013 Angelus, a brilliant blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc harvested between September 9 and October 3 (only 60% of the production was utilized), possesses good acidity as well as pure blueberry, mulberry and black currant fruit intermixed with notions of licorice, Christmas fruitcake, underbrush and forest floor. With medium body and more texture than is found in most 2013s, it should drink well for 8-10 years. This vineyard is meticulously manicured and the wine is brilliantly made by Hubert de Bouard.

62 % Merlot, 38 % Cabernet Franc. Produktion: 55'000 Flaschen, also fast eine halbe Ernte. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Intensives, zu Beginn leicht leimiges Bouquet, milchig-laktische Noten, dann gekochte schwarze Kirschen, Cassis, Kokos und dunke Pralinen. Im Gaumen füllig mit saftigen, angerundeten Tanninen. Er gibt sich für einmal eher elegant und man nicht das Gefühl, dass die Grenzen ausgelotet wurden. Also auf englisch gesagt ein «catch of the sound of this vintage!» Eine verstandene Jahrgangsmelodie also. Als neuer Pemier A wird dies aber ein teures Verlangen nach dieser milden Angélus-Variante. warten (2019 - 2035)

The estate stands as a representation and continuation of eight generations of the Boüard de Laforest family. This has consistently been one of the most esteemed Saint-Émilion estates in the past 10 to 15 years, however, in the 1954 Classification while they were already awarded as a Grand Cru Classé, the property was upgraded to Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1996. Their wines have been pioneered to be richer and more concentrated, with accents of black currant and plum fruit. They are nonetheless, well-balanced, oaked wines to enjoy every day.
