【Feature】Château Angludet

Château Angludet belongs to the Sichel family, who worked as Bordeaux wine merchants for six generation. It is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc.

Records going back to the year 1150 mention a “noble residence “in Angludet, mean “Angle of High Land”. The first lord of the manor, referred to in a deed dated 1273, was the knight Bertrand d’Angludet. The vineyard has had practically the same configuration since 1758 – over 250 years – which is exceedingly rare. 

Diana and Peter Sichel felt in love with Angludet, which they acquired in 1961. Alongside Peter Sichel, they undertook a major renovation of the estate over a period of 40 years, establishing Angludet as one of the first finest wines in Margaux. Since 1989, Benjamin Sichel manages the estate and oversees all aspects of viticulture and winemaking. He is also attentive to using natural, sustainable practices in the vineyard.
