Tasting notes
The 2024 Le Carillon d'Angélus offers up notes of dark berries, minty cherries and toasty oak, followed by a medium-bodied, softer and rounder palate that's more charming than the No. 3.

Love the bright fruit, just a slight kiss of cedar and sandalwood oak, even a touch of incense. Not huge depths compared to some vintages but they really have leaned in and delivered a vivid, sappy and mouth watering wine, with confident tannins. 45hl/h yield. 40th anniversary vintage of Hubert de Böuard.
Creamy and resonant on the palate, the 2024 Carillon is laced with dark cherry/plum fruit, new leather, spice, menthol, espresso and a kiss of French oak. There's terrific textural depth and resonance here. I especially like the way the 2024 explodes on the back end. This is beautifully done.
Chocolate-covered plums, black raspberries, espresso, black cherries, and licorice fill the perfume. Vibrant, fresh, and juicy, the fruits are lively, soft, sweet, and have a touch of crushed rocks and stones that emerge at the end of the finish. With a year or so in the bottle, you can enjoy this wine 12 to 15 years after that. The wine blends 90% Merlot, with 10% Cabernet Franc.
