Margaux, Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, FranceOwned by the Sichel family since 1961, Angludet is situated in the highly sought after real estate of Margaux, and neighbouring many Cru Classé properties. When the Sichel family purchased the property in 1961, they worked to unite and restore the estate to standards worthy of its neighbours. Traces of vines on the estate go back to the 12th Century, and wine has always made wines from the same plots. Vineyards are atop a deep gravel rise (40 feet elevated) plateau which keeps yields low and is the classic hallmark of this site. This vintage blends 55 percent cabernet sauvignon, 35 percent merlot, 10 percent petit verdot. Cement vinification for up to one month is followed by one year in barrel, before fining and light filtration. Acidity is so well integrated that it's unnoticeable, save for carrying that medicinal-ringed finish which lingers on. Drinking very well now, and will only appreciate with another five years in the cellar.Tasted: 29 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Margaux, Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, FranceIf you want to know why ten years ageing is a solid starting point for well-made Bordeaux, grab a bottle of Château Angludet. Deeply coloured at five years, it’s a rising amount of petit verdot that is flushing out this delicious drinking Margaux. The nose is a mix of scents including smoky, red fruits, licorice, spice and just a hint of earth. The palate is plumped up by some 13 percent petit verdot giving this plummy, silky, red a rich mouthfeel. The balance is near perfect as it enters a window of seven to ten years of drinkability. A fine effort in a difficult vintage. Château Angludet covers a surface area of 32 hectares, all within the AOC Margaux winegrowing area that is planted with 46 percent cabernet sauvignon, 41 percent merlot and 13 percent petit verdot. With the 2008 vintage, Château d'Angludet changed its name to Château Angludet.Tasted: 13 April 2017Tasted by: Prices:

When the Sichel family purchased the property in 1961, they worked to unite and restore the estate to the standards of its contemporaries. Worn leather, fading smoke, dusty gravels pervade this blend of 55 percent cabernet sauvignon, 35 percent merlot, 10 percent petit verdot. Quite structural, strict bones frame the medium bodied, voluminous red. Alluring anise, red current, red plum, smoked raspberry and cherry, all savoury tinged and tainted with smoke throughout. Acidity is so well integrated that it's unnoticeable, save for carrying that medicinal-ringed finish which lingers on. Cement vinification for up to one month is followed by one year in barrel, before fining and light filtration.
