Known for its consistent quality and classic Margaux character, Château Angludet is a well-respected estate that has produced wines with finesse and structure for over a century. When Benjamin Sichel took charge of wine-making operations at Château Angludet in 1989, he set himself the task of optimising the vines' natural balance. In Benjamin's view, the vines ought to be allowed to regulate themselves naturally, without any assistance.
The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux was challenging, with a cooler growing season compared to the previous hot and dry years. Frost early in the season, followed by a cool, wet summer, required careful vineyard management. However, the cooler conditions resulted in wines with lower alcohol, higher acidity, and more restraint. In the hands of experienced producers like Château Angludet, the vintage showcases freshness, purity of fruit, and a more classical Bordeaux style, with emphasis on elegance rather than concentration.

What the critics say:
"Fragranced and spiced nose full of nuance and detail - roses, cinnamon, cherries and strawberries. Smooth and succulent, a drive of bright and clear red fruits begin this wine with such purity to the expression. It's lightly framed, more lean and juicy than plush, which is to be expected, but this carries the weight well with energy and focus. Needs a bit of time to put on a little weight around the edges but this has finesse and plenty of juicy appeal. Still has the Margaux elegance, but a bit light on the finish."
