Château Angludet, Margaux 2020



£45.00

75cl ALC 13.5%

An elegant and classy Margaux. Owned by the Sichel Family, now into their 6th generation as wine merchants in Bordeaux. This rich history, combined with Château Angludet stretching back to the 12th century, is a recipe for success - much like the blend in this wine! The Merlot was picked slightly earlier to help add freshness, the Petit Verdot adds structure, and the Cabernet adds class. It has a lush and ripe bouquet, with damson, plum and cherries. A generous and broad palate of fresh fruits, with a mocha finish. An absolute gem. Myles Grant

Prettiness and charm, there's a good dose of ripe blue fruits and a little savoury note too. Floral and fragrant in the mouth, this feels sophisticated, fine-grained, juicy and perfumed. Highly recommended. Great Value. Suggested drinking window: 5-15 years.

Château Angludet

Château Angludet is owned by the Sichel family, wine merchants in Bordeaux for 6 generations. They also own a share of the more famous Château Palmer. Angludet has been the Sichel family home since 1961. It is one of the oldest properties in the Médoc dating back to the 12th century. The 32 hectares of vineyards are all within the Margaux appellation, and the wines are classified as Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel.

Vintage guide

The 2023 vintage looks good but the yields are down, some warm damp weather in summer means the Cabernets have out performed the more delicate Merlot. The wines of 2022 are excellent showing a lovely balance of ripeness and juiciness that give them great balance. The 2021 vintage has made wines that are medium bodied with good freshness, in a similar style to 2017. The 2020 vintage yielded wines that are aromatic and concentrated, quite big in structure with freshness and balance. The wines of 2019 are very concentrated, fresh, ripe and plentiful, all in all a very well regarded vintage. 2018 was a very good vintage in the end but mildew, hail, and a heatwave all served to reduce yields. The harvest across the region took place in near ideal conditions. 2017 is good in terms of quality but short on quantity, following frosts in the Spring that decimated certain properties. 2016 is a worthy successor to 2015, on a par qualitatively and looking very promising across all wine types. A hot summer but with cool nights has produced wines with fruit and freshness. 2015 is exceptionally good across the region for reds, especially the Right Bank, Pessac-Léognan, dry whites (better for Sauvignon than Sémillon) and sweeties: it is certainly the best vintage since 2010. 2014 is a very good Cabernet vintage, particularly in the Médoc where the wines are fresh with fine tannins. Overall, ripeness levels are good and so are quantities.
