Specification

Producer

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.

Tasting Notes

A delicious, fruit packed bouquet showing ripe black cherry aromas. Beautifully balanced, there is a delicious rich fruit content with rich cassis and overtones of kirsch. The structure is firm and tight which will enable long ageing, and there is a fine purity and fresh balance which provides a beautiful illustration of the Angludet style.

Food Matches

Delicious with rare roast beef with seasonal vegetables and yorkshire pudding.
