DESCRIPTION

Château Angélus, Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, is a masterpiece of depth, harmony, and sophistication. Set on south-facing slopes over limestone and clay, its predominantly Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines produce remarkable richness and precision.

The 2008 vintage, shaped by a cool, wet spring followed by a warm, dry late summer and an exceptionally favorable September, produced wines of remarkable freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity. Extended French oak aging reveals layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, spice, and graphite, supported by firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity. A powerful yet refined expression of Saint-Émilion, the 2008 combines classic Bordeaux structure with the elegance, freshness, and mineral character that define Château Angélus.

EYE

Deep, intense garnet-red with excellent concentration and a brilliant appearance.

NOSE

Complex and refined, revealing aromas of blackberry, plum, and ripe dark berries, layered with delicate floral notes, graphite, subtle spice, and mineral nuances.

MOUTH

Rich yet remarkably elegant, with a silky texture, polished tannins, and beautiful freshness. Dark fruit and plum are complemented by mineral and lightly spiced notes, leading to a long, precise, and harmonious finish.

PAIRING

Ideal with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or slow-braised short ribs. It also pairs beautifully with truffle-based dishes, wild mushrooms, and mature cheeses such as Comté or aged Gouda.

Château Angélus

At the origin of Château Angélus is an exceptional vineyard at the gates of Saint-Émilion, on the famous south-facing “foot of the slope.” Since 1782, eight generations of the de Boüard de Laforest family have shaped the Estate through passion, determination, and a commitment to excellence. Today, Angélus encompasses 135 hectares, including 65 hectares in Saint-Émilion, with 30 hectares forming its historic heart. In 2012, Hubert de Boüard passed leadership to his daughter, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, the third woman in the family’s history to lead the Estate. Today, Angélus employs 170 people, produces eight cuvées, and owns hotels and a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the largest and possibly the most famous wine region in France marked by it's rich history beginning in Roman times. Back in 1885, several Châteaux were classified into grand crus with five quality levels which still exist today. As a port town, its unique geography is built around the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde rivers which have created it's famous left bank (Medoc) and right banks (Pomerol and Saint-Émilion) and the Entre-Deux-Mers (between two "seas" or rivers) regions. 90% of Bordeaux wine is red with artful blending of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot and sometimes malbec. Wines showcase a full range of taste profiles from earthy with strong and dry tannins to softer and smoother with notes of plum, black fruits. There are the go to French wines with red meat dishes.
