Chateau Angludet, Margaux cru Bourgeois

“Good meaty, even slightly leathery cassis fruit – typical richness, deep flavours, length and balance from this estate. Always a good wine.” Stephen Spurrier MW, decanter.com (April 2015) 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot. Angludet (formerly d’Angludet) has been the Sichel family home since 1961, when Peter Sichel started a complete renovation of vineyards and chais – the property was one of only six awarded cru bourgeois exceptionnel status in 1932, while it was omitted from the 1855 Classification due to inheritance issues.
