2022 Château Angélus Tempo d'Angelus Magnum

Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal and her nephew, Thierry Grenié-de Boüard, represent the eighth generation of the Boüard de Laforest family to manage Angélus. Following Catherine Sophie de Boüard de Laforest in 1800 and Eugénie Chatenet in 1900, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal is the third woman to lead this estate, which she has overseen and grown. She is aware of the task entrusted to her in 2012 and the responsibilities it entails. She embodies the values that have guided her family throughout the estate's history: integrity, hard work, humility, and a sense of duty. Along with her nephew, she continues the work of their ancestors with the sole purpose of defending the grandeur of Angélus and ensuring that this name, synonymous with excellence and timelessness, endures.

The efforts of the dedicated owner, Hubert de Boüard, to produce the best wine in Bordeaux were rewarded in 2012 with the promotion of Château Angelus to the Super Class A. Only four Saint-Émilion wines are allowed to carry this highest classification: Cheval Blanc, Ausone, Pavie, and Angélus.

Tempo d'Angélus is an elegant and approachable Bordeaux rouge from the team behind Château Angélus. This wine is made exclusively from grapes grown on the estate, just a few kilometers from Saint-Émilion. Tempo d'Angélus is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Produced in the state-of-the-art Chai Carillon, specifically designed for the vinification of Carillon d'Angélus. This is a 1.5-liter magnum—even more delicious, more festive, and with a longer drinking window.

WINE AND FOOD SUGGESTIONS

Beef stew with carrot and thyme
The softness and ripeness of Merlot complement the savory flavors of braised beef. The herbs and slow-cooked character enhance the spicy, oak-aged notes in the wine. The soft tannins remain beautifully balanced with the meat.

Oven-baked chicken with mushrooms and rosemary
The juicy texture of the chicken pairs well with the elegant tannins and fruity notes of the wine. The earthy flavors of mushrooms and the spicy rosemary underscore the complexity of the blend.

Tagliatelle with mushrooms and Parmesan
A vegetarian dish with umami and creaminess. The wine's structure complements the full flavor of the mushrooms and the salty depth of the Parmesan. The fresh acidity keeps everything lively.

Roasted eggplant with tomato and mozzarella
The roasted vegetables and melted cheese create a juicy, spicy base that pairs well with the ripe fruit and delicate oak notes of Tempo d'Angélus. The dish has enough structure to complement a Bordeaux, without being heavy.

Lamb chops with garlic and rosemary
Lamb is a classic partner for Bordeaux. The combination of Merlot and Cabernet Franc gives the wine sufficient power and elegance to balance the fat and spice of the lamb.
