Tasting Notes

The 2019 Le Carillon d'Angélus has another high-toned and quite alcoholic bouquet - you can feel the warmth from the glass and it blurs the edges. The palate is more controlled with fleshy black fruit. The oak is well-integrated. Smooth in texture, the acidity is nicely judged, though the finish just lacks a bit of flair at the moment. Bottle age will benefit this wine. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Score: 90

The 2019 Le Carillon d'Angélus has turned out beautifully. Succulent and racy to the core, with gorgeous understated balance, the 2019 is impeccable from start to finish. Dark red fruit, chocolate, new leather and spice are nicely pushed forward. The 60% new oak is a bit prominent at this stage. It will be interesting to see how that plays out over time.

Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2025-2039 01 February 2022

This is the vintage where you start to see the results of the new plots for Carillon (one near Cheval Blanc and another in St Colombe), with supple berry fruits and floral aromatics, along with softly brushed tannins and smoke. This is elegant and well paced, with plenty of espresso and cocoa bean gourmet edging. Bottled May. 60% new oak. 20ha now dedicated to Carillon d'Angélus (with 5ha going into both Carillon and No 3 d'Angélus). New cellar for first time, reflecting the fact that since 2014 there have been plots dedicated only to these two wines.

Score: 93

The second wine of Château Angelus, the 2019 Le Carillon D'Angelus is Merlot-dominated yet includes 10% Cabernet Franc. It's a more backward, serious wine compared to the fleshy, upfront N3 and offers a deep purple hue as well as impressive crème de cassis, crushed stone, chocolate, graphite, and violet aromas and flavors. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully textured, with the vintage's supple, sweet tannins, this brilliant second wine will compete with most châteaux grand vin.

Score: 93 - 95

A really succulent, refined second wine with berries, chocolate and light toasted oak. It’s full and completely integrated with seamless tannins and a fresh finish. Lovely, sweet ripe fruit in the center palate. Extremely refined. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc.

Score: 94 - 95
