Tasting notes
The 2012 Carillon d'Angélus is a pretty, soft wine with forward fruit and plenty of near-term appeal. Sweet red berries and crushed flowers grace the open-knit, inviting finish.

His second wine, the 2012 Carillon de L’Angélus, has turned out well for proprietor Hubert de Boüard. Dense ruby purple, it is soft and round, with deep fruit, light tannin and a nicely textured mouthfeel. This is a serious second wine to drink over the next decade.
Sweet, lightly spiced fresh dark fruit. Smells generous and warm and inviting. Chewy but rounded tannins, rich, savoury with oak but not heavy with char; the fruit can carry the barrels better here. Very primary but in balance. (JH)
