About Chateau Angludet
One of
Bordeaux’s oldest properties, there is a reference to Chevalier Bernard
d’Angludet in 1319, and the Manor House existed on the current site in the 12th
Century. Peter Sichel, the Father of the current generation of 5 brothers and 1
daughter, bought Angludet in 1961, an Estate of 80ha in total, but with only
7ha of vines at the time, making sadly only 11 barrels of the 1961 vintage, 275
cases 12/1. The vineyard now covers 34ha. Ben Sichel took over the winemaking
from his Father in 1989. The other 4 brothers work in the family negociant
business Maison Sichel SA on the Quai de Bacalan, an office that was founded in
1883. Ch Angludet was not classified in 1855, but if there was ever to be a
reclassification, it would probably be a fifth or even a fourth Growth.
The Sichel
family are the owners of Chateau Angludet Margaux, Chateau Argadens
BordeauxSup,Chateau Trillol Corbieres, and are the major shareholders of
Chateau Palmer.
