The 2018 Carillon d’Angélus includes additional grapes from 8 hectares of recent acquisitions (3 hectares in Tour St. Christophe and 5 hectares between Cheval Blanc and Figeac). It is far better than the 2017. Black cherries, raspberry coulis and subtle orange pith aromas with well integrated new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, plenty of lightly spiced red fruit with a fine saline finish. This is a very commendable Deuxième Vin.

Il s'avance sur des notes épicées et fruitées d'une bonne intensité.  Bien tramé il présente une structure assez ferme avec peu de milieu de bouche et une finale souple dotée d'une bonne rémanence de fruit.

No longer a second wine as the parcels once produced, Le Carillon de l'Angélus 2018 is undoubtedly a step up in quality. The floral nose with its licorice, ripe plum and smoke, seeks out your attention. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and fresh and the finish is all about the elegance and sweetness in the fruit. The wine was made from 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Le Carillon d'Angélus comes bounding out of the glass with bold notes of crushed blackberries, black raspberries and wild blueberries plus hints of spice box, damp soil, smoked meats and fallen leaves plus a waft of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black and blue fruits with firm, rounded tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and earthy.

This is a really together second wine of Angélus with a tight and focused center palate of blackberries and hints of chocolate and hazelnuts. Firm and very fine tannins and a long and persistent finish.

Bright tobacco and herb notes sparkle out front until the black currant and blackberry compote flavors catch up. The solidly grippy finish shows a dark, slightly brooding profile. Distinctive.
