Les Angelots de Gracia – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2017:

 

The Garage Wine Legend: Les Angelots de Gracia

Les Angelots de Gracia is the coveted second label from Michel Gracia, a true ‘Vins de Garage’ pioneer in Saint-Émilion. Produced from a tiny, distinct parcel of vines with incredibly low yields, this wine represents a hidden gem of the Right Bank, offering a concentrated, lush, and highly seductive Bordeaux experience. Its limited production makes it a highly sought-after collector’s item.

Tasting Profile

• Color: A deep, inky ruby-purple hue, indicative of its rich concentration.
• Nose: An intense and complex bouquet of ripe black fruits (plum, black cherry, cassis) layered with sweet notes of vanilla, cedar, liquorice, and a hint of forest floor.
• Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, the wine delivers a powerful core of sweet, ripe fruit, balanced by polished, abundant tannins and a vibrant freshness. The finish is long, plush, and exudes the elegance of a top-tier Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Decant this wine for at least an hour to allow its aromatic complexity to fully unfold. Serve at 62-65°F (17-18°C). This is a ‘major league claret’ that pairs perfectly with rich, savory dishes.
