The prestigious Château d`Angludet is situated in the commune of Cantenac which is within the Margaux appellation. Since 1961 the estate has been owned by the Sichel family, who also own a share of Château Palmer. Their Grand Vin is made from old vines and has an incredible ageing potential. This release from 2002 has 65% of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend and offers a well-rounded palate, complemented by smooth, resolved tannins.

The d’Angludet estate boasts around 32 hectares (79 acres) of vines on the 81 hectare (200 acre) property, with plantings consisting of 46 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 41 percent Merlot and 13 percent Petit Verdot.
