Château Angludet is a historic estate with wine considered by many to be of Grand Cru Classé quality. It expresses finesse, elegance and aromatic complexity typical of the Margaux AOC.
I have always enjoyed this undervalued wine, it’s almost (secretly) up there with one of its famous neighbours which we sell for £400 a bottle more. If you pick the right vintage you begin to realise this is the smart option.
Pure excellence from the (lockdown) 2020 vintage. Many wines from this year are now revealing enhanced qualities/depths to them, due not only a good vintage but to the fact there were no cars, no planes, no pollution and minimal travel. Winemakers stayed home and tended their vines with even more care than usual.
Critic Reviews:
Jeb Dunnuck 91 -93
The 2020 Château D’Angludet looks to be outstanding, with beautiful red and blue-tinged fruits as well as notes of dried flowers, sandalwood, and leafy herbs, followed by medium to full-bodied richness on the palate. Offering a layered mid-palate and ripe tannins, it’s just a round, balanced, delicious Margaux that will have 15-20 years of longevity.
Jancis Robinson 16.5/20
46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 12% Petit Verdot. Mid crimson. Fragrant with both red and black fruit, open and inviting but not overly sweet-fruited. Sweeter-tasting on the palate, with red plums and oak sweetness. Incredibly smooth texture, rounded, approachable and yet still fresh. Almost soft on the finish. (JH)Anticipated maturity: 2025-2038
Neal Martin 90-92
The 2020 Château Angludet is brisk and precise on the nose of blackberry and bilberry fruit, touches of iodine and pressed flowers coming through with time; there’s wonderful focus and energy here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. A saline and marine-influenced Margaux, well balanced with a little grittiness toward the finish. Yet overall, this classically styled Angludet has commendable breeding and should give 20 years of drinking pleasure.
