Carillon D'angelus Réserve Château 2025 2nd Vin Château Angélus Saint-Emilion, 2014

Carillon d’Angélus Réserve from Château Angélus is a refined Saint-Émilion red that offers a more approachable expression of one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates. As the second wine of Château Angélus, it captures much of the character and precision of the Grand Vin, while offering earlier accessibility and excellent value for lovers of elegant Right Bank Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes
Expect a polished, medium-to-full-bodied Bordeaux with a deep ruby hue. The nose typically leans toward ripe black cherry, plum, blackberry, and subtle floral tones, supported by notes of cedar, graphite, and gentle spice. On the palate, it is usually supple and balanced, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a savoury mineral edge that reflects Saint-Émilion’s limestone-influenced terroir. The 2014 vintage in Bordeaux is known for its freshness and classic structure, giving this wine a graceful profile and good drinking window. While enjoyable now with a little air, it should also develop additional nuance over the next several years, gaining more complexity in its tertiary aromas and texture.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, the wine draws on the estate’s prized hillside vineyards, where clay-limestone soils help preserve freshness and shape the wine’s mineral backbone. Fruit is typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, with careful selection to ensure quality. Vinification is carried out with the estate’s focus on precision and purity, followed by ageing in oak to add structure, texture, and complexity.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses such as Comté or aged Gouda. Serve at 16–18°C for the best expression of its aromatics and structure. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if drinking young, to help the wine open up and soften its tannins.

Producer
Château Angélus is one of the most prestigious names in Saint-Émilion, with a long history of family ownership and a reputation for crafting wines of depth, finesse, and remarkable consistency. The estate has achieved major recognition for its classification status and its rise to the top tier of Bordeaux producers. Carillon d’Angélus, as the château’s second wine, benefits directly from the same meticulous viticulture and winemaking philosophy that defines the grand estate.
