1998 Chateau Angelus, Saint-Emilion, Bottle (750ml)

The 1998 vintage was a watershed year on the Right Bank — warm, dry harvest conditions brought perfectly ripe Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and Château Angélus delivered one of the defining wines of the era.

Angélus sits on the south-facing slopes just outside the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, a position that captures more sunlight and warmth than the surrounding vineyards. This gives the wine its signature style: generous fruit, richness, and depth, balanced by the lift and aromatics of old-vine Cabernet Franc.

By the late 1990s, the estate was at full stride — lower yields, meticulous berry selection, and precision in the cellar. The result in 1998 is power wrapped in polish: intense fruit concentration matched by sophistication and finesse.

Now, with more than 25 years of evolution, the wine has settled into its ideal expression — silky, layered, and beautifully resolved. No decant necessary, just pop and pour!
