2022 Château Angludet, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 47% Merlot; 40% Cabernet Sauvignon; 13% Petit Verdot.

This is charming, pretty and perfumed, with plenty of plush red fruit and some Provençal herb notes on the nose. The palate is soft and rounded, with crunchy black cherry fruit and some tasteful, almost spicy oak. Abundant acidity and freshness drive the wine and wrap the whole palate together.

The tannins are nicely balanced. Ben Sichel has moved towards a regenerative and sustainable approach in the vineyard and gentler élevage in the cellar. With the heat of the vintage tamed, this is a successful and long-lived Angludet. It glows like a small polished jewel.

Drink 2027 - 2042

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 88-90/100
The 2022 Angludet is deep garnet-purple in color. It has a very pretty, open-knit perfume of roses, kirsch, and black raspberries, leading to a classic core of cassis and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is soft and plush, with plenty of red and black berry flavors on offer and a refreshing finish. This is nice!

William Kelley 91-93/100

The 2022 D'Angludet is one of the wines that do actually appear to merit such hyperbole. Offering up deep aromas of inky cassis, plums, pencil lead and subtle spices, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a broad attack, ripe acids and a supple, seamless profile, concluding with an expansive finish.

The intensity of the violet-edged colour extraction is pretty remarkable in the Médoc, and this manages to get the balance right between intensity and appeal, alongside vibrant raspberry, brushed damson and bilberry fruit, given lift by pomegranate and passion fruit, and a curl of smoked earth. One to look out for, should be great value. 35% amphoras, 65% barrels for ageing.

Really fragrant; you can smell the Petit Verdot with milk chocolate and blackcurrant aromas - open, fresh, appealing, perfumed, generous and lifted. Clean and pure on the palate with a lovely delicacy of flavour and freshness. 

Black fruit has concentration, but this keeps a sleek, focused frame - so balanced, moreish and perfectly weighted in the mouth. Juicy, chewy, spiced - complete and long and leaves you wanting more. A complex and mouthwateringly fresh Margaux with tang and style. One to look out for! 

3.8pH. A yield of 26hl/ha. Ageing 12 months; 30% amphora, 70% French oak 30% new). The first time in Angludet history that the blend has been finalised before ageing.

Drink 2025 - 2045

About this wine

Margaux

Margaux

If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
