2008 | Château d'Angludet | Margaux

Medium bodied with red and black fruits, earth and herbs along with a touch of green in finish; the wine is in some ways similar to a classic Bordeaux from the 70’s with its style of tannins.

Producer Information

Château d'Angludet is a wine estate in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux's northern Médoc wine region. Its wines are highly-regarded and often critically lauded despite being left outside the original 1855 classification. The vineyard sits on a triangular section of the Arsac plateau on Garonne gravel, around three kilometers (1.8 miles) from the Garonne river and the beginnings of the Gironde estuary which runs north before turning west to the Atlantic Oceana and the Bay of Biscay. Château d'Angludet's neighbors in Margaux, part of the wider, so-called "left bank" of Bordeaux, include châteaux du Tertre and Monbrison. The d'Angludet estate boasts around 32 hectares (79 acres) of vines on the 81 hectare (200 acre) property, with plantings consisting of 46 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 41 percent Merlot and 13 percent Petit Verdot. Grapes are fermented in concrete vats, and wines are aged in barrel for around 12 months with one-third new oak, then lightly fined with egg whites before bottling. Records of an estate at Angludet ("Angle of High Land") date back to 1150, and the vineyard is thought likely to have existed in the 17th Century. In 1791, the estate was split four ways among heirs on the death of the then-owner, its scattered nature explaining the lack of a subsequent ranking in 1855. The estate was reconsolidated in 1891, though by 1960 there were just seven hectares (17 acres) of vineyard. Since 1961, the property has been the home of the Sichel family, who have restored the château and the reputation of its wine.
