Chateau Angludet Margaux 2021
Chateau Angludet 2021 presents an intriguing bouquet of black fruits, blackberries and blueberries accompanied by light herbaceous notes that add a touch of elegance to the wine. The palate is ripe, rich, concentrated. An excellent example of the success of Margaux wines in this vintage.
Chateau Angludet was bought in 1961 by Peter Sichel and, although the family also partly owns Chateau Palmer, it is Angludet they call home. The chateau is among the oldest in Margaux and consists of 32 hectares of vineyards behind the Cantenac plateau going towards the commune of Arsac, about 3 km from the river. The vineyards are planted to 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 13% Petit Verdot, are situated at an altitude of between 8 and 21 metres and have a planting density of between 6600 and 7300 vines per hectare. Chateau Angludet produces excellent, intriguing Margaux wines with layers of aromatic complexity, hints of coffee and an enchanting spicy note from the high percentage of Petit Verdot. Since 1989, the management has been in the hands of Benjamin Sichel, who works with the aim of bringing out the great terroir of the chateau as much as possible. The percentage of new barrels used to age the wine is limited to 35% and, year after year, the use of terracotta amphorae is increasing. Chateau Angludet is undoubtedly among the producers with the best value for money in the appellation and, when the Cru Bourgeois classification was in force, was classified as Exceptionnel.
