Wine Description & Tasting Notes
Château Angludet is a vineyard in the Bordeaux region in the Margaux appellation, in the Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde. The estate is managed by Benjamin Sichel who adopts biodynamics to produce great red wines with passion.
Benefiting from the protective effect of the Gironde estuary, the Angludet vineyard has displayed exceptional viticultural permanence for more than 300 years. The vines produce a wine which fully expresses the terroir, made up of sandy gravels, a signature of the Bordeaux Left bank.
Angludet is one of the oldest properties in the Médoc. It owes its name to the knight Bertrand of Angludet who built his home there in the 12th century. The vines were thought to have been introduced at the beginning of the 17th century during the extension of the Gironde vineyard on the Medoc peninsula.
In 1961, Peter and Diana Sichel, wine merchants, fell in love with the place and decided to settle there to live there and to realize their dream: to produce a great wine. The property is reborn from its ashes. Peter and Diana Sichel dedicate their lives to renovating this special place. Today it is their children and grandchildren who live on the property and strive to promote Angludet to lovers of great wines around the world.
The wine matures over 12 months, half in barrels (30% new barrels in French oak each year) and half in terracotta amphorae.
