Carillon d’Angelus 2019

Angelus

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

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.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2019 Carillon dAngelus is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it features notes of cedar chest, wild sage, and fertile soil over a core of plum preserves and blackberry compote. The full-bodied palate is highly structured with firm tannins and tightly wound black fruits, delivering great length.

This has more depth to the palate than the No.3, giving a seductive reminder of the flourish of Angélus with coffee, chocolate and precisely expressed flesh to the damson fruit. Plenty of complexity of flavours, salinity on the finish, feels like a successful, well-delivered example of the appellation. 60% new oak. New cellar for first time, expressly for this wine and No.3, reflecting the fact that since 2014 there have been plots dedicated only to these two wines. New plots also, notably one near to Cheval Blanc and another in St Colombe, taking the total for Carillon to around 15ha in total across a variety of terroir types.
