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

Château Angélus is one of Saint-Émilion’s most prestigious names, and the 2009 vintage comes from a year widely celebrated for its richness, balance, and immediate charm. As a 1er Grand Cru Classé A, it stands among the estate’s finest expressions, combining power, precision, and the classic elegance that has made Angélus so sought after.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this typically shows a deep, насыщенный ruby color with impressive concentration. The nose opens with layered aromas of black cherry, plum, cassis, violets, cedar, and subtle spice, often joined by cocoa, tobacco, and a touch of graphite as it evolves. On the palate, it is usually full-bodied and polished, with ripe dark fruit, velvety tannins, and excellent freshness supporting a long, refined finish. The 2009 vintage should still have strong aging potential, and depending on storage, it can continue to develop complexity over many years, gaining more tertiary notes of leather, truffle, and dried herbs.

Production
Château Angélus is based in Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s prized right bank, where clay-limestone and clay-sand soils help deliver both structure and aromatic lift. The estate’s vineyards are known for meticulous parcel selection and careful harvesting, with grapes generally picked by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve purity and balance. Vinification is carried out with a focus on precision, extraction control, and élevage in oak to build depth and complexity while respecting the character of the vintage.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, and dishes with truffle or mushroom accents. It also works well with hard cheeses such as aged Comté or Manchego. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for about 1–2 hours if opening now, especially if the bottle has been resting in the cellar for some time.
