Angélus 1er Grand Cru Classé A Saint-Emilion, 2009

Angelus is one of Saint-Émilion’s most revered names, and the 2009 vintage sits among Bordeaux’s most celebrated recent years. As a 1er Grand Cru Classé A, this wine reflects both the prestige of the estate and the power, finesse, and longevity that have made Angelus a benchmark for top-right-bank Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, saturated ruby core with only gentle signs of development at the rim. The bouquet is typically expressive and layered, with dark plum, black cherry, cassis, violet, cocoa, cedar, and subtle graphite, followed by hints of truffle, tobacco, and spice as it opens in the glass. On the palate, the wine is rich and polished, with ripe black fruit framed by silky tannins and excellent concentration. The 2009 vintage brings generous depth and warmth, balanced by freshness and structure, giving the wine impressive length. While already highly enjoyable, it should continue to evolve gracefully for many years, gaining more complexity and tertiary nuance with age.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s right bank, Angelus benefits from limestone and clay soils that help preserve freshness and structure while supporting ripe, concentrated fruit. The estate is known for meticulous vineyard work and selective harvesting, with grapes picked at optimal ripeness to capture both power and aromatic precision. Vinification is carried out with a focus on careful extraction and balance, followed by élevage in oak to add texture, complexity, and fine-grained structure.

Food & Serving
This is a wine best enjoyed with refined, flavor-rich dishes such as beef tenderloin, lamb rack, duck breast, or game birds, as well as truffle-based dishes and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting for 1–3 hours is recommended, especially if opened young, to allow the aromas and structure to fully reveal themselves.
