BURNT
Adam Jones is more than a great chef; he’s an haute cuisine rock star hallowed by two Michelin stars. Elated by his success, arrogant and unpredictable, he is the bad boy of the Paris gastronomic scene and loses himself in booze and drugs. Fast forward some years and he has sobered up again. Surrounded by young trainees and station chefs, he takes over a London restaurant and embarks in quest of the holy grail of culinary endeavour, a third star. Château Angélus features in a tasting between friends, served by the sommelier in the London restaurant.

THE END
The 2015 harvest is finished.
The vines were in perfect health, which coupled with the superb weather we enjoyed at the beginning of this autumn, made it possible for us to pick the grapes at the best time on each plot. The fruit was magnificent and picking went on for almost a whole month! Crunchy Merlot grapes with lovely fruity aromas and lots of freshness. And in this vintage, the beautifully ripe Cabernet Franc highlights the bold Angélus combination of grape varieties more than ever.
We all agree that this vintage should be called THE MAGNIFICENT.
Magnificent 2015
Make way for the Cabernet Franc grapes, Angélus’ crown jewels
That’s it! Angélus’ magnificent Merlot has been picked. Ripe, but not excessively so, crunchy, fruity and very fresh.
When we tasted the first tanks, they confirmed the potential we expected of the fruit: good honest aromas, lots of tannins of good quality.
Now the team has started picking the Cabernet Franc grapes, which are Angélus’ crown jewels. Even though the variety does not dominate completely, it covers almost half the area planted with vines. Cabernet Franc contributes elegance, subtlety and density with a silky feel.
They too are magnificent this year and will contribute significantly to the enrichment of this new vintage.
