Creamy and resonant on the palate, the 2024 Carillon is laced with dark cherry/plum fruit, new leather, spice, menthol, espresso and a kiss of French oak. There's terrific textural depth and resonance here. I especially like the way the 2024 explodes on the back end. This is beautifully done. 04/2025

The 2024 Le Carillon Angélus is aged in around 50% new oak. The remainder remained in stainless steel with some of the Cabernet Franc in old wooden vats that belong to Angélus. It has a perfumed, finely delineated and focused bouquet with violet-tinged black and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Tensile with touches of orange rind and Asian spices, there is decent concentration on the mineral-driven finish. Give this two or three years in bottle and it should give at least a decade's worth of drinking pleasure. 04/2025

The 2024 Le Carillon d'Angélus offers up notes of dark berries, minty cherries and toasty oak, followed by a medium-bodied, softer and rounder palate that's more charming than the No. 3. 04/2025

Based on 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Le Carillon D'Angélus sports a slightly deeper ruby hue as well as a beautiful nose of black raspberries and cassis intermixed with spice wood, graphite, and spring flowers. It's polished, medium-bodied, has fine tannins, and shows the fresh, crisp, yet elegant style of this château and vintage. 05/2025

Couleur très beau rouge sombre, intense et vive. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr. Nuances de fraise. Moelleux en entrée de bouche et de suite très aromatique, le vin caresse le palais, puis monte en finale tout en douceur et avec du goût. C'est délicieux et très agréable. Assemblage : 90 % merlot, 10 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 13°5 - pH : 3,6. Rendement : 45 hl/ha. 04/2025

The purity of fruit is impressive with sliced cherries, strawberries and hints of walnuts and chestnuts. Medium-bodied, this has a creamy, integrated tannin structure and a fine, fresh finish. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. 04/2025
