second wine

"Particularly hedonistic with great purity of fruit and disconcerting delicacy!"

"L'Angelus is back in the Guide with the second wine of the vintage, made from 15 hectares of dedicated land. Le Carillon explores the full potential of Merlot (90%) on three very different terroirs. Aged half in new barrels and half in one-wine barrels for 16 months in this vintage, it benefits from the same care as its elder brother. No false notes for this beautifully balanced, gourmet wine, skilfully served by ripe, finely spiced fruit. On the palate, it's full-bodied without being excessive, rich, suave and long, supported by smooth, silky tannins. A tasty and ambitious second wine, to be enjoyed with a Bazas entrecôte steak". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2023) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 5*Stars (Outstanding producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)

About the domain :

In the heart of the Côte de Saint-Émilion, in the appellation's most prestigious, south-facing sector, Angélus boasts one of the finest terroirs, covering 25 hectares in a single block. Taken to the top by Hubert de Boüard, outstanding winemaker and soul of the estate, it is now run by his daughter Stéphanie and nephew Thierry Grenié de Boüard, who have been at the helm since 2016. The estate has few equals. A high percentage of Cabernet Franc (40-50%), a major human and financial commitment (the new winery built in 2014 enables even more impressively precise wines to be made, the recent helium balloon system is there to counteract hail attacks) and, above all, meticulous attention to every detail. It all adds up to a highly demanding arsenal. These constant efforts earned the estate the supreme rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé A in 2012, an elite accolade that places it on a par with Cheval Blanc and Ausone. More recently, the switch to organic viticulture has completed the rise of the cru, which stands out for its singular sensuality and subtle aniseed notes found nowhere else. Fresh, elegant and supported by subdued tannins, Angélus remains one of the most complex Saint-Emilions on the Right Bank.

About the wine:

Lovely aromatic profile, delicate and lightly perfumed with violets. On the palate, a magnificent explosion of creamy red fruits - cranberry, redcurrant, red cherry and hints of blackcurrant leaf. The texture is unctuous, yet dense and fluid, bringing flavor and restraint. You can appreciate the creaminess and chalkiness, with hints of wet stone that truly reflect the terroir, with a hint of spice and a refreshing minty finish. The taste goes on and on. It's more delicate and less aggressive than N°3 and Tempo, but as determined and resolute as ever. Carillon's first vintage from dedicated vines and its own cellar. 2025-2045

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)

About the domain :

Promoted to the quartet of premier grands crus classés A in the latest Saint-Émilion classification in 2012, no château has come so far in the Bordeaux hierarchy in such a short space of time. Hubert de Boüard, a modernist winemaker, great communicator and international consultant, is a man of influence in local and national wine circles. 2013 saw the complete renovation and embellishment of the winery, now topped by a spectacular carillon. Hubert de Boüard has restructured his family's vineyard, giving himself all the assets needed to reach the appellation's quality heights. Thierry Grenié-de Boüard joined Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal at the helm of the château in 2017. The eighth generation is taking over, and significantly shaking things up. Angélus epitomizes the sophisticated, formal perfection of today's great Bordeaux wines. 10 kilometers from Angélus, a new winery will be used to vinify Carillon and N°3, the second and third wines, with dedicated plots. For the 2021 vintage, the château will make its organic label official.

About the wine:

Aromas of redcurrant, sweet tobacco, bark and earth follow through to a full body with a creamy texture of crushed stone and pure fruit on the finish. It's tight and pure, with fine finesse and good mouthfeel. Second wine of Angelus. To be enjoyed after 2026.

About the wine:

A perfumed nose, with penetrating notes of blue and violet, ink, iris and red flowers, that has the profane elegance of a courtesan. On the palate, a disconcerting smoothness, fluid and delicate, sensuality on black fruits, with a beautiful mineral length, and a woodiness that knows how to be discreet.

About the wine:

Dark, intense and beautiful color. Intense, pure, subtle nose of ripe fruit. Fat on the attack, melting on the palate, tasty and particularly hedonistic, with aromatic relief between the middle and the finish, the wine ends on an original sap, long and very good.

About the wine:

Fresh, vibrant, delicate, silky and frankly already delicious to taste, the wine offers up its plum, licorice, floral and chocolate-covered cherry character with ease. Medium-bodied, ripe, pure and refined, you can enjoy it as soon as it's released, while waiting for its big sister to age and develop. Drink between 2022 and 2033.
