Grand Cru Classé
Saint-Emilion
€ 127.05/ Per fles min. 12 flessen
Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 91-93/100
The 2022 Le Carillon d’Angélus is a rich, boisterous wine. Succulent dark
cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather and licorice are nicely pushed
forward. Racy and pliant, the 2022 Carillon is showing quite well in this
tasting.
Robert Parker The Wine Advocate – 91-93/100
Unfurling in the glass with notions of raspberries, red plums, sweet soil tones and truffle, the 2022 Le Carillon d’Angélus is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vibrant, with powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. As readers will remember, this bottling is no longer a “second wine” per se, but rather draws on some 25 hectares of dedicated vineyards, emphasizing Merlot from the cool terroirs of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, complemented by holdings in the gravelly Figeac sector and on clay soils near Angélus itself—with anything that doesn’t make the cut relegated to the No. 3 d’Angélus.
