Carillon d’Angélus 2021 – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

The nose is nicely fresh, racy and reveals some power in balance/elegance. There are notes of fairly ripe strawberry, blackcurrant and more lightly blueberry combined with hints of fresh/creamy blue berries, graphite as well as fine hints of cherry blossom, Madagascar pepper and a touch of sweet/fresh spice. The palate is fresh, mineral, elegant and offers delicacy in its relative richness/concentration, acidity, tension and a nice graininess in the mouth. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy raspberry, blueberry and more lightly graphite combined with hints of fresh/sparkling red berries, fine hints of fresh blueberry, hints of toast, tonka bean as well as a subtle hint of bergamot, lily and vanilla. Nice sapid, suave and elegant finish. The tannins are supple and elegant. Good length. Nice freshness, delicacy, roundness, elegance and suavity on the palate.
