Carillon d’Angélus was first released in the 1987 vintage. Over the years it has acquired its very own identity. Reflecting the high, rigorous standards of our teams, the wine is a variable blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon selected from different Saint-Emilion terroirs. The vinification and ageing techniques are adapted with precision to its particular style.
Tasting notes: The wine presents bright, saline notes from the Franc that complement the forward Merlot fruit, creating a medium-bodied palate with a lively blend of vivacious red berry flavors and a hint of blood orange on entry. A subtle white pepper note emerges toward the finish, adding depth to the wine’s crunchy fruit and chalky undertones, all rounded off with a touch of raw coffee bean for complexity.
