2023 Tempo D'Angelus - Bordeaux (750ml)
Tempo D'Angelus 2023 — Bordeaux (750ml)
Step into the Angélus universe with Tempo D’Angelus, a 2023 Bordeaux red crafted by the Boüard de Laforest family’s eighth-generation team. Built in the same state‑of‑the‑art, HVE3‑certified chai and employing the meticulous sorting used for Premier Grand Cru Classé A Grand Vin, this wine embodies the intimate access and artisanal rigor that defines the estate’s standout releases.
Terroir and blend come together from clay‑limestone parcels in Castillon acquired in 2017. The Merlot contribution delivers an aromatic, red‑fruit lift with delicate floral notes, while Cabernet Franc introduces spice and black fruit, contributing structure and lift without sacrificing finesse. The result is a wine with silky, velvety tannins that glide across the palate and a freshness that stays true from first sip to the lingering finish.
Appearance and aroma reveal a clear, deep hue. On the nose, expect bright red berries, hints of tiny cherries, and a touch of oak. The palate emphasizes verticality and bright acidity, delivering pure fruit character with a refined, lingering finish that nods to roasted coffee and oak.
The Wine Advocate has singled Tempo D’Angelus out for its value, calling it “very impressive for this price point.”
Drinking window begins in 2026, with a profile that remains vibrant as it evolves through the mid‑term.
