A nitrogen production plant enables permanent protection of the wines , as well as oxygen control during vinification and ageing .
As a result of technical , environmental and aesthetic considerations , this new winery is resolutely modern , deriving benefits from state-of-the-art equipment .
The 4400 m2 building , located on a 3.30 hectare plot , is semi-submerged with a green roof . It contains a reception area for grapes , with optical sorting , a vat room for vinification , a cellar dedicated to malolactic fermentation , and a cellar for maturation . Eventually , bottling and labelling equipment will be added to the line .
Inspired by Fleur de Boüard in Lalande de Pomerol , the winemaking cellar , with its 18 inverted truncated cone-shaped vats , hoist system , and vat lift , is 100 % gravity fed .
A nitrogen production plant enables permanent protection of the wines , as well as oxygen control during vinification and ageing . Photovoltaic panels allow for self-production of part of the electricity required for the new structure ’ s operations .
GALLEON FINE WINES
new winery of Carillon d ’ Angélus lends itself perfectly to the experimentation of numerous prototypes , from the electronic mustimeter to the grape washer ... so many tests which , if successful , will equip all of the wineries in a few years , thus improving the work of the teams , and sublimating the wines produced .
TEMPO D ’ ANGÉLUS In the next few weeks , Tempo d ’ Angélus will hit the shelves of the SAQ for the first time in Canada . GALLEON , a fine wine import agency , is its exclusive importer , and they offer the vintage in Magnum or Jeroboam formats through its online store .

Carillon d ’ Angélus , like the entire estate , is HVE3 certified . This highest level of “ High Environmental Value ” certification attests to the best practices of Angélus in terms of biodiversity , phytosanitary strategy , and fertilization management . The building is BREEAM ( Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method ) certified , which is the British equivalent of France ’ s HQE ( Haute Qualité Environnementale ). The winery was delivered during the 2019 harvest .
“ BREEAM ”
Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method - or building environmental performance assessment method - is the most widespread building certification standard in the world . Each type of building has its own assessment standard . The BREEAM assessment , simple and pragmatic , allows for a calculation of the environmental performance of a building and provides applicants with a guarantee to respect the environment from the design stage through the entire lifecycle of the building . Therefore , the certification corresponds to a global environmental approach .
These approaches also help to develop a more creative spirit and positive dynamic that improves team morale through direct impacts on their productivity , health , comfort , and well-being . The environmental aspects rise to the same level as the human aspects .
IN CONSTANT EVOLUTION Carillon d ’ Angélus is committed to an active R & D approach , from the vineyard to the winery , from viticultural techniques , to the invention of new gestures .
