Le second d'Angélus développe une personnalité de plus en plus affirmée et autonome. Très parfumé, fin, floral, il associe une allonge de grand vin à un corps charmant.

Onctueux et séveux, belle finesse. Un second vin de très grande dimension.

The 2016 Le Carillon d'Angelus, which represents a higher percentage of the total production this year, has a tightly wound blackberry and briary-scented bouquet with admirable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, harmonious and rounded in style with just the right amount of salinity on the finish to beckon you back for another sip. This is a lovely Deuxième Vin built to give pleasure.

Le meilleur jamais fait ! Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez intense, fin, fruité, pur et floral. Jolie entrée en bouche, moelleuse. Le vin se développe fondant et très, très fruité plutôt allongé dans sa forme. Il évolue savoureux et un tantinet marqué par le bois en finale. Persistance juteuse. Assemblage : 75 % merlot, 25 % cabernet franc. À noter que depuis 2014, cinq hectares de vignes ont été rajoutés à ce cru. Elles sont situées sur des zones  plutôt sablo-graveleuses à côté de Figeac.

The 2016 Le Carillon d'Angélus is plump, juicy and open-knit. In 2016 Merlot is a bit more pronounced than it has been in the past, while there is no Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe, silky tannins add to an impression of total finesse. Dark red cherry, mocha and plum are pushed forward in this succulent, giving Saint Émilion.

(75 Merlot, 25 Cabernet Franc, 10 Cabernet Sauvignon) | 50% new oak | 13.5% - 14% alc. Very tight and reined in but very impressive and singular with superb control and élan. The oak is firm but not too drying and the fruit is sumptuous. This will work well in due course. 17+

Rather sumptuous nose. Tarry start with lots of sweet black fruit and drama. Pretty tight and for the moment hard work, but it should relax with time.16.5+

Barrel Sample. This is a well-balanced and beautifully structured wine. Its acidity is impressive, while the spicy tones and fruity richness combine with the tannins to yield a structured yet fruity wine. It will age well over the medium term.

This is a fantastic second wine with walnut, berry, stone and bark character. The texture is really excellent with a chewy yet ultra-polished mouthfeel. Long and intense. Better than the 2015.
