2025 Carillon d'Angelus Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
Dominated by 90% Merlot, the 2025 Le Carillon d'Angélus derives from some 25 hectares of dedicated vineyards, emphasizing Merlot from the cool terroirs of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, complemented by holdings in the gravelly Figeac sector and on clay soils near Angélus itself. Exhibiting notes of cherries, red berries and orange zest, it's medium- to full-bodied, pure and precise, with a fleshy core of fruit, sweet tannins and lively acids that lend it a suave but serious profile.

The 2025 Le Carillon d'Angélus is raised in 50% new oak, 25% used barrel and 25% in stainless-steel vat. It has a well-defined and focused bouquet with blackberry, blueberry, light oyster shell/estuarine scents that lend another dimension (these were accentuated by the thinner Riedel glass that I requested). The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, well balanced, a tad more tension than the No. 3, with more depth on the finish. Gentle grip, quite linear in style, but there is satisfying persistency on the finish. Very fine. Drink 2030-2048.

The 2025 Le Carillon d'Angélus is another gorgeous wine from the De Bouärd family. Dark-fleshed fruit, leather, incense and licorice convey somber intensity. This is far from an easygoing wine. Readers should plan on cellaring this for at least a few years, as it is quite potent in the early going. Gravel and lavender develop toward the long, beautifully resonant finish. Drink 2030-2040.

A solid core of cherry and berry fruit on a medium body with salty and flinty undertones. Very bright and vivid with a crunchy finish. Creamy and pretty already. Attractive center palate. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc.

A beautiful, classy second wine from Angélus, the 2025 Le Carillon De Angélus is based on 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It reveals ripe cassis and juicy berry fruits on the nose, along with spring flowers, graphite, and well-integrated wood. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, pure, and clean, with nicely balanced structure and a great finish.

Dark cherry aromatics with creamy vanilla and floral fragrance. Such a gorgeous creamy, silky texture - this has concentration and intensity: weighty but not too much. Presence and poise, sophisticated but still with an element of freshness and lift. Serious, well built, muscular but finely so. Cool and extremely classic. 3.5pH. A yield of 35hl/ha. Drink 2029-2036.
