Critics Ratings

‘The colour is just beginning to soften around the edges at six years old, although primary raspberry and red cherry fruit are still very much in play on the palate. This is open and inviting, with tobacco, anis, black pepper spice, and eucalyptus notes on the finish.’ – Jane Anson, Decanter.com, 92/100 (Nov 2021)

‘This wine comes from part of the Angélus estate that is not classified, as well as wines that are not considered right for Château Angélus. The result is an accessible, ripe wine packed with red fruits, soft tannins and attractive, juicy acidity. The wine will be ready to drink from 2024.’ – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100 (Apr 2018)

‘The 2015 Le Carillon d'Angélus is endowed with tremendous fruit intensity and power, especially for a second wine. A generous dose of Cabernet Franc adds aromatic lift throughout, but the Carillon remains voluptuous, intense and ready to provide plenty of near-term pleasure. The blend is 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 90-92/100 (Apr 2016)

‘The 2015 Le Carillon d'Angelus is a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a perfumed, marine-tinged bouquet, the lifted cassis fruit tinged with seaweed. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannin, very well-judged acidity and very harmonious. It is not a Carillon of enormous depth and therefore, it will drink 2-3 years after bottling, but it does have class and would probably show up many other Saint Emilion grand crus.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 90-92/100 (Apr 2016)
