    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Carillon d'Angelus hails from the Bouard family's share of Bellevue, a site to the west of the commune near Figeac and a limestone vineyard in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes. This is a really serious St Emilion opening with bright, aromatic berries, a hint of florality and some spice notes. Unforced, very natural with clear raspberry and fresh cherry fruit, there's a seamless delivery of fruit, engaging and intense with lots of detail supported by well-judged, mouthwatering tannins. 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

    A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Carillon d’Angelus has a pH of 3.65 and it is deep garnet-purple in color. It comes bounding out with eager notes of juicy plums and fresh blackberries, plus suggestions of sassafras, black pepper, tar, and fragrant soil. The medium-bodied palate is lively and soft-textured, delivering vibrant black berry flavors, with a racy backbone and a lifted finish.

    The 2023 Le Carillon d'Angélus matured in around 50% new oak. This is quite taut and linear on the nose—a more streamlined Carillon perhaps, with touches of crushed stone infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a hint of blood orange on the entry, vivacious red berry fruit and a generous white pepper note toward the finish. There’s something almost Burgundian about this Carillon in terms of the tannin structure. Give it three or four years in bottle.
