Carillon d`Angelus 2015 is the second wine of Chateau Angelus, sourced from specific plots in Saint-Emilion and crafted with the same technical precision as the Grand Vin. The 2015 vintage is a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, offering a medium-bodied profile of black cherry, smoke and liquorice. This wine is designed for earlier accessibility than its sibling, displaying a soft, lush texture and a savoury, classic character. In the 1.5-litre magnum format, the wine retains its primary fruit vibrancy while allowing the subtle chocolate and tobacco notes to develop complexity over an extended period of maturation.

Vinous
The 2015 Le Carillon d'Angélus is a very pretty wine with plenty of savory and floral overtones from the Cabernets that are especially prominent in the blend. Dried cherry, tobacco, mint and crushed flowers give the wine its lifted, distinctively midweight personality. The Carillon is best described as a second wine from Angélus rather than the second wine of Angélus, as it really has little in common stylistically with the Grand Vin. Drink it over the next few years. Antonio Galloni1st February 2018

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.
