Hubert de Bouard traces the style and quality of today Angelus back to his meeting with Henri Jayer back in 1986. Beginning with the '88 vintage, he has done part to most of the malolactic fermentation in barrel. Other effects of his conversation with Jayer: he has cut yields, waited to harvest riper grapes, and learned to pick according to the closely defined parcel. "Jayer taught me how to become a vigneron again" is how he puts it. The crop at Angelus was very small in '97, following millerandage and coulure and significant crop-thinning in July. Production was just 30 h/h, says Bouard, of which just 19 h/h was kept for the grand vin The merlot in '97 was much more consistent than the cabernet franc, he adds, and constitutes 60% of the blend.
