Description
What kind of wine it is
Carillon de Angelus, produced by Château Angélus, is a still red wine from Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. It is created from a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, presenting in the glass with an intense, deep violet colour. On the nose, it offers a fruity bouquet enhanced by refined woody notes. On the palate, it is structured and complex, supported by silky tannins and a lively freshness that ensures excellent ageing potential.
Where it comes from
This red originates in Bordeaux, specifically in the Saint-Émilion area. The vineyards are rooted in clay and limestone soils, a geological composition essential for optimal grape ripening and for giving a precise definition to the tannic structure. The identity of the terroir is reflected in a deep and enveloping taste profile, capable of supporting the wine’s natural longevity and encouraging its elegant evolution over time.
How it is produced
Vinification involves temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, concrete and wooden vats to preserve aromatic purity. Afterwards, the wine undergoes maturation in new barrels for a period ranging from eighteen to twenty-four months. This prolonged rest encourages integration between the fruit and the wood notes, giving solidity to the structure. To enhance its flavour persistence, decanting is recommended and serving between 16 and 18°C.
