N°3 d’Angélus 2023
N°3 d’Angélus 2023 is a Saint-Émilion red wine from Château Angelus in Bordeaux, made as the estate’s approachable third wine. It is Merlot-led, built for earlier enjoyment than the château’s senior wines, and reflects the Angelus house approach through careful vineyard work, precise vinification and ageing without new oak.
Château Angelus describes N°3 d’Angélus as a Saint-Émilion wine blended with 85 to 90% Merlot and produced from vines cultivated with the same care as its senior wines. For the 2023 vintage, secondary exact-product sources report a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged for a shorter period with no new wood, using one- or two-year-old barrels.
In the glass, the 2023 shows a bright purple colour with notable depth. Aromatically it moves from flowers and black fruit into graphite and subtle menthol with air. The palate is clean and energetic, combining spicy Cabernet Franc structure with integrated oak, freshness and fine tannins, before a persistent finish shaped by acidity and elegant tannic length.
Serve N°3 d’Angélus 2023 with classic red-wine dishes such as roast beef, lamb, duck, mushroom dishes or firm cheeses. Its young, fruit-led Saint-Émilion style also makes it suitable for collectors who want an earlier-drinking Angelus-family bottle while waiting for grander cuvées to mature.
