Carillon d’Angelus 2012

Angelus

Case Format: 1x75cl

Max score: 17.0

First released in the 1987 vintage, Carillon d’Angélus has since acquired its own distinct identity, separate from its bigger, brasher older sibling. Now with its own winery, Carillon is spread over the cooler plots of the Angélus estate, enabling this Merlot dominant blend to retain its vigour. Representing 20% of the Château’s production, its second wine still receives the same top-class treatment as its first. In turn, this is a highly respected wine that is appreciated for its juicy black fruit aromas, velvety tannins and timeless elegance.

The second label from Angelus has a very pleasing bouquet – fine delineation and focus with pure dark cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with good tension and freshness on the entry. It does fall away a little rapidly so hopefully it will develop more body and weight during the elevage. We will see. Tasted April 2013.

His second wine, the 2012 Carillon de L’Angélus, has turned out well for proprietor Hubert de Boüard. Dense ruby purple, it is soft and round, with deep fruit, light tannin and a nicely textured mouthfeel. This is a serious second wine to drink over the next decade.
