Tempo — Château Angélus, Bordeaux 2023
Region: Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France
Grape Varieties: Predominantly Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon
Alcohol: ~14% (vintage dependent)
Appearance: Deep garnet with purple rim, medium-plus intensity.
Nose: Ripe black cherry and plum up front, layered with violet perfume, baking spices, cedar, and a hint of graphite. Subtle oak influence adds toasted vanilla and cocoa.
Palate: Plush, velvety texture with generous dark fruit — blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum compote — balanced by bright acidity and polished tannins. Midpalate shows complex secondary notes: tobacco leaf, savory herbs, and mineral undercurrent. The finish is long, elegant, and gently spicy.
Food Pairing: Ideal with roasted or grilled red meats (ribeye, lamb), mushroom-based dishes, duck, hearty stews, aged cheeses like Comté or mature Gouda, and charcuterie featuring spiced cured meats.
Serving: Decant 60–90 minutes for immediate drinking; serve at 60–64°F.
Why it matters: Château Angélus is a benchmark Saint-Émilion estate known for producing opulent, terroir-driven wines. The 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit intensity with freshness and structure, offering an emotion-forward, food-friendly Bordeaux that aligns well with our curated cheese and charcuterie selections.
