Clos du Milieu Côtes de Castillon 2020 By Château Angélus

Clos du Milieu 2020 is a new cuvée from Château Angélus, produced from the best parcel of their vineyard in Castillon. It is made from MerlotThis wine comes from 1.50 hectares on the southern hillside of Castillon-la-Bataille, where the terroir consists of cold clay-limestone soils. After cold pre-fermentation maceration, the wine is vinified in inverted stainless steel truncated-cone vats. Post-fermentation maceration lasts from 1 to 3 weeks. The wine is aged 18 months in medium toast fine grain French oak barrelsand entirely new.

The nose is fruity. There are notes of creamy blackcurrant, strawberry and, to a lesser extent, crushed redcurrant, combined with hints of graphite, tonka bean, fine toasted/caramelised notes and a subtle hint of clove and vanilla. The palate is juicy, flattering and greedy, with a lovely delicacy in its fatness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of bursting blackcurrant, plump/juicy plum and, more lightly, crushed raspberry, combined with a touch of blueberry, vanilla, toastiness and a fine hint of chocolate.
