CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2021 Le Carillon dAngélus offers a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, hints of cedar and clove, and even a touch of pain dépices. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a fine bead of acidity, good weight and freshness and a suave and very harmonious finish. I have remarked on the melioration of Carillon in the last two years, and this continues that trend.

Now benefiting from its own dedicated winery, the 2021 Le Carillon dAngélus is no longer a "second wine" per se, but rather draws on 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—with anything that doesnt make the cut relegated to the No. 3 dAngélus. Exhibiting aromas of raspberries, plums, warm spices and nicely integrated new oak, its medium to full-bodied, supple and polished, with lively acids, refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish.
