Carillon d`Angelus 2010 represents the second wine of Château Angelus, a prestigious estate holding 1er Grand Cru status in Saint-Émilion. This vintage offers a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, showcasing the estate`s commitment to quality. The palate reveals ripe fruit nuances alongside an evolving structure, with prominent tannins that are seamlessly integrated. Balanced acidity ensures a noteworthy freshness, making it approachable yet reflective of its origins. Château Angelus, renowned for its meticulous viticulture, is also celebrated for the exceptional quality of its second wine, Le Carillon.

Robert Parker
A good, possibly excellent effort, the 2010 Carillon d’Angelus is made from a selection from the larger Angelus vineyard, but it does not live up to the quality that vineyard routinely produces. Composed of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it offers lots of red and blue fruits along with medium body, but it seems somewhat monolithic and uncharacteristically straightforward for a wine from proprietor Hubert de Bouard. It should be consumed during its first 10-12 years of life. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Chateau Angelus
A Right Bank Institution
This prestigious Saint-Émilion estate produces superb Right Bank Bordeaux and has been in the de Boüard family since 1782. Spanning 39ha, the Château Angélus estate is planted to 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and full conversion to completely organic farming began in 2018.
The estate's vines are positioned with perfect southern exposure on a sloping vineyard where the soils on lower potion are sandier and the upper portion richer in limestone and clay - perfect for both Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Along with the Grand Vin, a second wine, Le Carillon d’Angélus, as well as a third wine, No 3 d’ Angélus, are also made.
