Le Carillon de l'Angelus 2021, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 750ml

Chateau Angelus is not far from the landmark of the clock tower in St Emilion, beside the famous pied de cote slope. Chateau Angelus is the result of the four generations of Bouard de Laforest's hard work. The history of the winery can be traced back to the beginning of the last century. After that, the Bouard de Laforest family slowly increased the area of ​​the winery bit by bit, and then it has today's scale. The winery is currently managed by Hubert de Bouard de Laforest.

Chateau Angelus is one of the first-class wineries in the Saint-Emilion region. It covers an area of ​​58 acres. The upper soil is a clay-lime layer, and the sandy lime layer is located next to the hillside. It is mainly planted with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In addition to using traditional methods to make wine, Chateau Angelus also continuously improves its winemaking techniques to achieve perfection in every harvest and brewing. Therefore, it enjoys a high evaluation among wine critics and wine customers. Chateau Angelus and Pavie were promoted to Grand A-level winery in the latest Saint-Emilion appraisal in 2012.

==================

The 2021 Le Carillon d'Angélus offers a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, hints of cedar and clove, and even a touch of pain d'épices. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a fine bead of acidity, good weight and freshness and a suave and very harmonious finish. I have remarked on the melioration of Carillon in the last two years, and this continues that trend.
