Château Angludet

Owned by the Sichel family and managed since 1989 by Ben, the youngest of the Sichel brothers. This property is blessed with ideal conditions for producing splendidly consistent wines. The sandy and gravelly soil provides good natural drainage, which increases concentration in the fruit.
Now farmed biodynamically, Angludet is on top form with a superb wine produced this vintage. The berries were extremely small and dense which yielded only 26hl/ha. It is the first vintage that Merlot is the dominant varietal. Intense blackberry aromas dominate the bouquet with a beautiful fragrant freshness. The palate is seamless with rich, ripe plum fruits, succulent cassis and an inky intensity and creamy mouthfeel. The tannin structure is beautifully crafted and there is a touch of cedar on the finish which is long and lingering. An excellent wine that oozes style and finesse.
Delicious with rare roast beef with seasonal vegetables and yorkshire pudding.

Aged for 12 months in 65% barrels (30% new French oak) 35% amphoras Maceration time Merlot: 20-25 days Cabernet Sauvignon: 19-28 days Petit Verdot: 20-28 days Vinification Vinification in cement vats Alcoholic fermentation temperature at 26°C The wine went into barrel in December 2018 Malolactic fermentation in cement vats Ageing in barrels for 12 months (one-third renewed every year) Fined with egg whites and filtered very lightly before bottling
