Château Angélus St Emilion Grand Cru Le Carillon d’Angélus 2021

Double the amount of Cabernet Franc than usual, because Merlot was more affected by frost and mildew, and it has a big impact on the character of the wine, giving a huge lift to the aromatics but also increasing austerity and tension. Expect clove and white pepper spice, a ton of slate and graphite, blueberry fruit, precise and finessed. Not your tyical Carillon but full of balance and finesse, with a slow reveal through the palate. 60% new oak with the rest in stainless steel, 16hl/h yield.
