// 100% Merlot
"Clos du Milieu is sourced from a single plot, entirely planted with Merlot, bordered by hedgerows. This new cuvée whose vines are situated in the centre of our vineyard in the commune of Castillon-la-Bataille, just a few kilometres from Saint-Emilion, in the magnificent cool, deep clay-limestone soils of the upper slope, displays freshness, tension et density. The Clos du Milieu offers the finest expression of Merlot and gives an elegant, structured wine with good ageing potential." - Chateau Angelus, Winemaker
"The summer of 2022 bore an incredibly close resemblance to those great summers that followed the Second World War, and which produced the outstanding 1945, 1947 and 1949 vintages. The huge potential of the Merlot of Clos du Milieu is revealed in this vintage. The nose is amazingly complex, offering intense aromas of fresh black fruits, which develop in complexity on aeration. The palate is rich, creamy and suave with great length of flavour and with the freshness and very elegant structure of great Merlot showing through particularly well." - Negociants, Importer
