DESCRIPTION

Carillon d’Angélus 2016 is the elegant second wine of Château Angélus, crafted from 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. The exceptional 2016 Bordeaux vintage brought a long, dry growing season, producing concentrated fruit, freshness, and beautifully refined tannins. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, violet, graphite, and subtle spice lead to a rich, polished palate with excellent structure and a lingering mineral finish. Aged in French oak, this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru offers remarkable balance and approachability. 95 points James Suckling, with additional high scores from leading critics. Pair with lamb, duck, beef, or aged cheese.

EYE

Deep garnet-red with subtle purple reflections, rich and brilliant.

NOSE

Elegant and expressive, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, complemented by delicate floral notes, graphite, spice, and a subtle touch of cocoa.

MOUTH

Smooth, sensual, and beautifully balanced, with velvety tannins and generous dark fruit. Notes of blackberry and cherry unfold alongside spice and mineral nuances, leading to a fresh, refined, and lingering finish.

PAIRING

Perfect with roasted or grilled beef, duck breast, lamb, or dishes with mushrooms and truffles. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses such as Comté, Cantal, or Saint-Nectaire.

Château Angélus

At the origin of Château Angélus is an exceptional vineyard at the gates of Saint-Émilion, on the famous south-facing “foot of the slope.” Since 1782, eight generations of the de Boüard de Laforest family have shaped the Estate through passion, determination, and a commitment to excellence. Today, Angélus encompasses 135 hectares, including 65 hectares in Saint-Émilion, with 30 hectares forming its historic heart. In 2012, Hubert de Boüard passed leadership to his daughter, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, the third woman in the family’s history to lead the Estate. Today, Angélus employs 170 people, produces eight cuvées, and owns hotels and a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the largest and possibly the most famous wine region in France marked by it's rich history beginning in Roman times. Back in 1885, several Châteaux were classified into grand crus with five quality levels which still exist today. As a port town, its unique geography is built around the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde rivers which have created it's famous left bank (Medoc) and right banks (Pomerol and Saint-Émilion) and the Entre-Deux-Mers (between two "seas" or rivers) regions. 90% of Bordeaux wine is red with artful blending of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot and sometimes malbec. Wines showcase a full range of taste profiles from earthy with strong and dry tannins to softer and smoother with notes of plum, black fruits. There are the go to French wines with red meat dishes.
