Le Carillon d'Angélus - Château Angélus - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2010

Wine Advocate

2010: A good, possibly excellent effort, the 2010 Carillon d’Angelus is made from a selection from the larger Angelus vineyard, but it does not live up to the quality that vineyard routinely produces. Composed of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it offers lots of red and blue fruits along with medium body, but it seems somewhat monolithic and uncharacteristically straightforward for a wine from proprietor Hubert de Bouard. It should be consumed during its first 10-12 years of life. Drink 2011-2023

This is a delicious second wine from Angelus. The flavours are juicy, ripe and generous. Velvety textured tannins balance the firm acidity and vibrant fruit. Very well made with exceptionally well handled tannins.

Gras et intense, tanin gras, allonge savoureuse, longueur gourmande. Une valeur sûre parmi les grands seconds vins.

The clarity of fruit in this second wine is impressive, with blackberries and dark chocolate, full body, and silky tannins.

Rounded, with ample flesh and lots of braised fig, currant paste and roasted apple wood notes. There's more heft than cut right now, but this is pretty darn solid, with a broad, smoky, tobacco-filled finish. —J.M.

Red fruit and floral notes, the oak a touch invasive at present. Supple and smooth, even a touch hedonistic. Lacks the dimension of the grand vin but plenty of matière. Drink 2015-2022. (16 points)

Sweet, floral and soft wine. Very different in structure from the drying St-Émilions I have just tasted at Cercle Rive Droite. (Though it is a little bit dry on the end.) Very sweet overall. Drink 2016-2024
