A blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Angelus reveals a deep garnet-purple color and fragrant aromas of crushed red currants, warm plums and pencil shavings with hints of incense, sage, violets and tobacco. Full-bodied, very fine and intense yet exquisitely delicate with wonderful freshness, it has ripe yet firm, very finely grained tannins and an epically long, perfumed finish. With bags of perfume and a captivating plushness, this Angelus is a real head-turner!

"A lean, racy red, featuring cherry, strawberry, spice & mineral flavors. Very compact & linear, this is nonetheless persistent & long on the aftertaste. Coiled & youthful, this will need time to unwind." - Wine Spectator

"I did note that floral elements are evident. There is outstanding volume & good phenolic maturity to the round, velvety & overtly powerful middle weight plus flavors that possess a firm core of tannins on the mouth coating, dusty & impressively persistent finish. This is a serious Corton where patience will also be required." - Burghound

"The 2014 Corton Les Marechaudes Grand Cru has a detailed nose of brambly red fruit, briary, pressed white flowers & limestone - really captivating aromatics ... The palate is fresh & vibrant with refined tannin. There is a gentle but persistent grip here, linear at first but opening slightly towards the citrus finish." - Robert Parker
