    James Suckling
    This is very fine and racy with refined tannins that are long and really precise. It's medium-bodied with a lovely, creamy texture. Really long and bright. (94-95/100)

    Jean-Marc Quarin
    Dark, intense and purple color. Very aromatic, fine, fruity, subtle and spicy nose. Ink note. Delicate on the palate, meticulous to the touch, with brightness in the fruit, the wine glides all along the palate, long, sappy and distinguished between its taste and its tannic support. Blend: 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. Alcohol content: 14°5. pH: 3.6.

    Decanter
    Rich, seductive and powerful with fleshy Merlot fruit, intense with a kick of spice. This is a fairly different blend than you would find in Carillon a few years ago, when there was more Cabernet Franc. Now, with new plots, you can expect it to be more Merlot-focused going forward, setting it clearly apart from the main estate wine. Yields around 40hl/ha. 3.5pH, 60% new oak.

    Yves Beck
    Bouquet marked by wood with vanilla and licorice wood. On the palate the wine is delicious and charming. The woodiness is also present on the palate but the fruit manages to find its way among the aging. (89-90/100)

Château Angélus

Château Angélus

Located in the heart of a natural amphitheater dominated by the 3 churches of Saint-Émilion, working days in the Angélus vineyard were once punctuated by the sound of bells. In 2019, the Boüard de Laforest family became the owner of this estate, composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties.
