ABOUT THE WINE
Château Angélus, a Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) estate, has been synonymous with excellence and innovation in Saint-Émilion for over eight generations. Nestled on the sun-soaked slopes near the historic village, the estate benefits from a unique amphitheater-like terroir. The 2009 vintage, crafted under the meticulous care of Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, reflects a perfect growing season that delivered rich, concentrated fruit while maintaining the estate’s hallmark elegance. This vintage is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the complexity and richness that have made Château Angélus a global icon.
TASTING NOTES
The 2009 Château Angélus exudes an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plum, intertwined with notes of graphite, cedar, and hints of mocha. On the palate, it is full-bodied and lush, with layers of dark fruit flavors, licorice, and a touch of vanilla from new French oak aging. The tannins are beautifully integrated, giving the wine a velvety texture, while its vibrant acidity ensures remarkable balance and a long, lingering finish marked by spices and subtle earthiness.
FOOD PAIRING
This exquisite wine pairs beautifully with luxurious dishes such as rack of lamb with rosemary and garlic, braised short ribs, or a classic beef Wellington. For a more refined pairing, enjoy it with aged cheeses like Comté or Époisses de Bourgogne, which highlight the wine's complexity and depth.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE
The 2009 Château Angélus is a testament to the excellence of the vintage and the skill of its winemakers. This wine is already stunning to drink now, but with its powerful structure and impeccable balance, it promises to evolve beautifully over the next several decades, making it a true treasure for collectors.
