James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, April 2011

The clarity of fruit in this second wine is impressive, with blackberries and dark chocolate, full body, and silky tannins.


Jancis Robinson, April 2011

Sweet, floral and soft wine. Very different in structure from the drying St-Émilions I have just tasted at Cercle Rive Droite. (Though it is a little bit dry on the end.) Very sweet overall.

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, March 2011

This has a ripe, almost exotic bouquet with crushed red cherries, blueberry and crème de cassis but it manages to remain composure and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with mouth-gripping tannins on the entry, good weight, the Cabernet Franc again defining the texture and personality with a sinewy, blackberry and boysenberry finish. Just lacks a little persistency towards the finish though.


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011

2010: A good, possibly excellent effort, the 2010 Carillon d'Angelus is made from a selection from the larger Angelus vineyard, but it does not live up to the quality that vineyard routinely produces. Composed of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it offers lots of red and blue fruits along with medium body, but it seems somewhat monolithic and uncharacteristically straightforward for a wine from proprietor Hubert de Bouard. It should be consumed during its first 10-12 years of life.

Wine Spectator, March 2011

Rounded, with ample flesh and lots of braised fig, currant paste and roasted apple wood notes. There's more heft than cut right now, but this is pretty darn solid, with a broad, smoky, tobacco-filled finish. -J.M.
