Angélus 1er Grand Cru Classé A Saint-Emilion, 2016

Angélus 2016 is one of Saint-Émilion’s most sought-after grand wines, combining power, finesse, and remarkable precision. As a Premier Grand Cru Classé A, it stands among the elite of Bordeaux, reflecting both the estate’s long heritage and its uncompromising pursuit of excellence.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep, saturated ruby color with excellent brightness and concentration. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, blackberry, violet, cocoa, cedar, and subtle spice, all unfolding with impressive complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and beautifully structured, with polished tannins, vivid fruit, and a long, harmonious finish. The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux is especially regarded for its balance and aging potential, and this wine should continue to evolve gracefully for many years, developing greater depth and nuance over time.

Production
Angélus comes from prime vineyard sites in Saint-Émilion, where limestone and clay soils help create wines with both richness and lift. The estate is known for careful parcel selection, meticulous vineyard management, and harvesting at optimal ripeness, followed by precision vinification designed to preserve fruit purity and structure.

Food & Serving
This is a fine match for premium dishes such as ribeye, roast lamb, duck breast, truffle risotto, or beef tenderloin. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if enjoying it young to allow the wine to open fully.

It has played a major role in elevating the region’s profile globally, and its promotion to Premier Grand Cru Classé A reflects the estate’s long-standing quality and ambition.
