Elevate your collection with the Château Angélus 2018 Double Magnum, a stunning 3L bottle of Saint-Émilion’s iconic Premier Grand Cru Classé A wine, aptly named “Le Phénix” for its triumphant rise from a challenging season. With only a small number produced (exact quantity undisclosed, typical for large formats), this luxury wine showcases the de Boüard de Laforest family’s eight-generation legacy on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Crafted from 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, using only the estate’s oldest 60-80-year-old Cabernet Franc vines, this organic-certified vintage bursts with blackberry, cassis, and violet aromas, complemented by velvety tannins and a saline finish. Presented in a bespoke wooden case, this wine collector’s gem is perfect for grand celebrations or long-term investment.
