Home and living place of the Sichel family since 1961, Château Angludet is one of the oldest properties in the Médoc whose origins date back to the 1150th century. Its name refers to the knight Bertrand d'Angludet, lord of the noble residence which stood there in XNUMX.
Since 1758, the Angludet vineyard has managed to preserve over the centuries a configuration very close to that of the original, since 93% of the current vineyard has been planted with vines for more than two hundred and fifty years. This rate of wine permanence is exceptional.
Located on a Garonne gravel plateau, the vineyard dominates the low terraces of the Gironde estuary. Its gravelly-sandy terroir improves water flow, thus promoting the concentration, finesse and elegance of the wine.
Today managed by Benjamin Sichel, the Château Angludet vineyard extends over an area of 32 hectares in AOC Margaux, planted with 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 13% Petit Verdot. The relatively large proportion of Petit Verdot requires significant work, but gives the wine depth and richness.
