Discover the majestic Château Angélus 2018 Impériale, a monumental 6L bottle of Saint-Émilion’s iconic Premier Grand Cru Classé A wine, dubbed “Le Phénix” for its triumphant rise from a challenging season. Limited to an extremely small production (exact number undisclosed, typical for large formats), this luxury wine embodies the de Boüard de Laforest family’s eight-generation legacy on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Crafted from 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, with only the oldest 60-80-year-old Cabernet Franc vines selected, this organic-certified vintage offers vibrant blackberry, cassis, and violet notes with velvety tannins and a saline finish. Presented in a bespoke wooden case, this wine collector’s treasure is perfect for grand celebrations or investment.

A rare 6L Impériale—ideal for collectors and epicurean events.

Rated 99-100 points, a Saint-Émilion masterpiece.

Vintage Profile

Château Angélus 2018 Impériale (6L):
- Blend: 65% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc (oldest vines only, planted by Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal’s grandfather).
- Tasting Profile: Deep garnet-purple; exuberant blackberries, crème de cassis, crushed violets, and cedar pencil on the nose; full-bodied with satiny tannins, remarkable fruit purity, and a long, saline finish with spice and woodsmoke.
- Critical Acclaim:
  - 99 points (Jeb Dunnuck), “Pure perfection, magical juice.”
  - 99 points (James Suckling), “Vibrant tannins, mouthwatering finish.”
  - 98 points (Wine Advocate), “Incredibly refined, seamless.”
  - 98 points (Decanter, Jane Anson), “Gorgeous, dense brambled fruit.”
- Vinification & Aging: Gentle extraction; aged 18-22 months in 100% new French oak barriques and two new foudres for Cabernet Franc, enhancing freshness.
- Aging Potential: Drink 2026-2058, with the Impériale format offering slower, more graceful evolution.
- Vintage Notes: A challenging start with wet conditions was redeemed by a miraculous summer, with cool nights preserving acidity and polyphenol richness. Yield: 32 hl/ha.
