In this great 2000 vintage, Cheval Blanc displays remarkable maturity, combining the finesse of mellowed stone fruit with a complex tertiary palette. The palate offers a chalky and melted texture, where discreet notes of sweet spices and a clean length mingle. The balance of this 2000, now 26 years old, testifies to an impressive structure and great elegance.

Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2000 Château Angélus showed beautifully, with a monster-sized array of ripe black fruits, leafy herbs, Asian spices, iron, and incense-like aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness and depth, it hits the palate with a massive amount of fruit, ripe, sweet tannins, ample mid-palate depth, and one hell of a great finish. As opulent and decadent as they come, it easily has another decade of prime drinking. While I don't think this matches the 2005, it's not far off and certainly shares plenty of similarities to that vintage.

About the Producer

Château Angelus, Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, is a name that resonates with the history of this prestigious appellation. Legend has it that the bells of the three surrounding churches once guided the work of the winemakers, a spiritual heritage that still marks the estate today. The de Boüard de Laforest family, firmly established since the end of the 18th century, watches over this exceptional cru. Today, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal embodies the eighth generation, breathing new momentum into the estate. The vineyard benefits from a remarkable terroir, where clay-limestone and clay-sand-limestone soils fully express their potential. The grape varieties, with a significant proportion of Cabernet Franc, contribute to the elegance and complexity of Château Angelus wines. In addition to its grand vin, the estate also offers Le Carillon de l'Angelus, providing another perspective on this unique Saint-Émilion terroir, as well as Tempo d'Angelus. It is a beautiful family story that continues to be written, driven by the passion and ambition to reveal the full richness of this cru. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Château Angelus, Le Carillon de l'Angelus, and Château Angelus 'Hommage à Elisabeth Bouchet'—essential benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
