Description
The second wine of Angélus is made predominantly from 18 hectares that have been specifically designated in the estate’s holdings. These are planted predominantly with Merlot, which always drives this blend at 90% and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aging is 60% in new oak and 40% in stainless steel. Carillon continues to improve, some of that is likely attributable to a new cellar that was recently completed for this wine. Le Carillon is a blend taken from vineyards in three locations; Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, the Cheval Blanc/Figeac sector and around the château.
Tasting Note :
Aromas of sweet cherries, berries, mint and rose petals, framed by a deft touch of new oak, introduce Le Carillon d’Angélus, a medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless wine that’s velvety and enveloping, with a suave, polished profile that will lend it a broad drinking window.
