Originally, Carillon was the second wine \u2014 and often, the second wine is seen as the \u201cdefault\u201d wine. That bothered me. I found this label limiting compared to the potential I saw in Carillon.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">So, I set myself the mission of transforming Carillon d\u2019Ang\u00e9lus \u2014 to make it evolve and give it a true identity. Between 2016 and 2019, we began a new era: with vineyards 100% dedicated to Carillon, acquired across the Saint-\u00c9milion appellation, Carillon became independent from its elder sibling. These vines come from prestigious areas \u2014 Figeac\u2013Cheval Blanc, Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, and the outskirts of Ang\u00e9lus \u2014 offering three types of soils and terroirs, a true mosaic of Saint-\u00c9milion.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Today, Carillon has its own identity, its own style: a crisp, clean attack, a full and elegant mid-palate, and a fresh, delicate, lingering finish. We gave ourselves the means to fully realize this ambition with the construction of the Carillon cellar \u2014 a spectacular investment in scale, architecture, and its gravity-flow design.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I\u2019m proud to have led this transformation \u2014 to have helped Carillon step out of the shadows and become a major wine in its own right, crafted with the same care and precision as Ang\u00e9lus. It\u2019s a small revolution, a success that, in my view, has changed the perception of this wine \u2014 and, more broadly, of the wine world itself.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong>GB :\u00a0Is it important to have a brand like Carillon d\u2019Ang\u00e9lus as part of everything you do \u2014 for brand building and image \u2014 beyond, of course, the quality of the wine itself?<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>SBR :<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">You\u2019re right \u2014 quality always comes first. It\u2019s the driving force, even before anything else is imagined. That said, the world of wine is evolving rapidly, and in recent years it has clearly shifted toward an environment defined by strong brands.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">This wasn\u2019t a premeditated strategy on our part; it\u2019s more a natural consequence of our pursuit of excellence. The name Ang\u00e9lus \u2014 that of the grand vin \u2014 shines brightly, but this reputation, both fragile and precious, must be built and protected every single day.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Today, Ang\u00e9lus represents an entire galaxy, where alongside the grand vin orbit Carillon d\u2019Ang\u00e9lus, Num\u00e9ro 3 d\u2019Ang\u00e9lus, Tempo d\u2019Ang\u00e9lus, and Hommage \u00e0 \u00c9lisabeth Bouchet. Consumers need trust and clear reference points \u2014 whether they are from the new generation, perhaps even more sensitive to this, or long-time enthusiasts who already know us. These brands, both strong and coherent, are essential in guiding them.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">A wine that is recognized \u2014 with a distinctive label, thoughtful design, elegant packaging, and presentation \u2014 that matters. Consumers perceive these wines as expressions of the same family \u2014 an umbrella brand, Ang\u00e9lus, with a structured, coherent, and easily identifiable universe. All of this serves as a guarantee of trust and quality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-765ed908 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"765ed908\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c61051a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c61051a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix-333x500.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-25898\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix-799x1200.jpg 799w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix-50x75.jpg 50w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chai-carillon-nefstudio-deepix.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 333px, 333px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57d2f888 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"57d2f888\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17ec771f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"17ec771f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>The challenges of the Bordeaux market and the Place de Bordeaux<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-619ff288 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"619ff288\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bf8c31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bf8c31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong>GB : How do you see the current state of the fine wine market in Bordeaux?<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>SBR :\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>It\u2019s a market currently going through a period of crisis \u2014 one that needs to reinvent and renew itself, especially around the en primeur campaigns. Preparation and anticipation are now essential: we must know our clients, go out to meet them, be present in the markets, talk about Bordeaux, talk about our wines. Because there is savoir-faire, but as Paul Bocuse used to say, there\u2019s also faire-savoir \u2014 the art of making it known. And in times of crisis, it\u2019s more important than ever to show, to make people discover or rediscover our wines, and to educate and inspire \u2014 particularly among the younger generations.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">This educational mission is absolutely essential. Through the tastings we organize in wine clubs, business schools, and universities, we aim to prevent a generational disconnect in wine culture. People often say young consumers are turning away from wine \u2014 it\u2019s our role to ensure this transfer of knowledge, of taste, and of culture.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We must also stand up \u2014 or at least remain vigilant \u2014 so that the discourse of health lobbies and anti-wine activists doesn\u2019t dominate. We must remind people that wine cannot be equated with alcohol in the simplistic way they portray it. Of course, there is alcohol in wine, but wine cannot be reduced to alcohol alone, nor compared to pornography or tobacco. It\u2019s essential to say this, to communicate it clearly. I often quote Pasteur, who said that \u201cwine is the most healthful and hygienic of beverages.\u201d Louis Pasteur, a chemist by training, knew exactly what he was talking about. And I\u2019ve seen it in my own family \u2014 my grandparents lived to 96 and 97 years old, and they shared a bottle of wine every day for nearly 75 years.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">So yes, we have a major mission of education, communication, and advocacy ahead of us. That includes using social media. We must multiply the channels and platforms to share our passion, to fight against misconceptions and caricatures. It\u2019s a subject I feel very strongly about.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong>GB : Bernard Burtschy recently said that major brands are trying to regain control over their distribution. Do you agree with him, or do you still believe in the Place de Bordeaux system?<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>SBR :\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I can only observe \u2014 and regret \u2014 that the Place de Bordeaux has weakened and now needs, as I mentioned earlier, to reinvent itself. For the moment, I don\u2019t know of a more efficient system than the Place, which still has many strengths \u2014 as proven by the growing interest of major international producers in recent years. That said, I believe a deep, honest, and rigorous reflection is needed \u2014 particularly regarding the en primeur system \u2014 and that reflection must be collective.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Perhaps there are too many players, too many n\u00e9gociants, too many wines released to the market. Certain behaviors \u2014 such as some n\u00e9gociants not respecting price guidelines \u2014 weaken the entire chain. It creates imbalance and a negative spiral that drags the whole system downward.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Better control over one\u2019s distribution is certainly one possible path. But the Place de Bordeaux has a long history and a proven model. Even if it\u2019s showing signs of fatigue today, I don\u2019t believe we should dismantle such an extraordinarily efficient tool. Instead, we must work with the Place to find solutions that ensure qualitative distribution and an economically sustainable model for everyone. However, each estate has its own identity and business model, and the Place, by nature, offers a generic framework that doesn\u2019t always take these specificities sufficiently into account.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">At present, I find the situation worrying: the sector is weakening, and collective, non-partisan action has become an urgent necessity. On our end, we plan to act on our distribution in the coming months to make it more qualitative. If it is, it will better serve those partners who work seriously \u2014 many of whom have been penalized by the instability caused by less scrupulous players. Certain behaviors have a lasting negative impact on the entire community that is the Place.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong>GB : Do you think there\u2019s still a future for the en primeur system?

Bordeaux as a whole must become attractive again during en primeur. The younger generation, in particular, tends to be impatient and doesn\u2019t want to buy wines to drink decades later. But if they understand that by buying now they\u2019re making a smart purchase, they can be persuaded.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Of course, that requires trust. If the message is unclear, trust will be hard to build. That\u2019s why Bordeaux as a whole must make smart, deliberate choices. And price is not the only factor. We saw it clearly in 2024: prices were very attractive, but demand overall did not follow. The market environment was difficult, the geopolitical context uncertain, and the vintage unfairly criticized by parts of the press \u2014 none of which helped promote 2024.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We now have a real opportunity with 2025 to bounce back. It could be a breath of fresh air \u2014 but if 2026 turns out to be more difficult, the relapse could be harsh.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We must therefore be very cautious. It\u2019s normal for 2025 prices to rise somewhat \u2014 but this increase must be measured and controlled, so as not to break the fragile market dynamic or lose the trust of consumers. Collectively, we have a chance to chart a more positive and inspiring trajectory for the next campaign. We absolutely must not miss it. It may not save the en primeur system entirely, but it could help move it in the right direction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c3cd53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1c3cd53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d-375x500.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-25901\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d-56x75.jpg 56w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/7c061cf91d5320e8901e7e72da2151d.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 375px, 375px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f7cdf55 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7f7cdf55\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d7b1c57 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"6d7b1c57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0ec54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b0ec54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Distribution: today and tomorrow<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-346eaa36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"346eaa36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong>GB : Because of these strong price fluctuations, consumers are getting lost too.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>SBR :\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Yes, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a good thing.

Translation never quite conveys its full meaning.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We harvested over a relatively short period \u2014 barely ten days. The Merlots reached maturity almost simultaneously across some twenty hectares, very quickly. The Cabernets were picked a little later, but still within a tight window. Although this vintage differs from 2022, the Cabernet Francs once again showed remarkable resilience and strength, aided by surface cover crops that preserved freshness and moisture. The grapes reached perfect ripeness, with beautifully thick skins.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We benefited from a very sunny, dry summer, yet the vines never suffered: the deep clay and limestone soils retained enough water and minerals despite the drought. We observed virtually no scorching or shriveling, except slightly on the youngest vines, and density sorting allowed us to select an exceptional harvest.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Yields are not high, but they remain perfectly respectable given the conditions \u2014 around 35 hectoliters per hectare.
