La Reserve d'Angludet, Margaux 2013

Get to know: Château d'Angludet La Réserve d’Angludet Margaux 2013

Tasting Note

This 2013 La Réserve d’Angludet is a charming and well-balanced Margaux red that’s matured gracefully. Expect aromas of black cherry, dried cranberry, and forest floor, with soft hints of tobacco, cedar, and worn leather. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a savoury, gently spiced finish. A refined second wine from a respected Margaux estate – elegant, mellow, and ready to enjoy.

Top food pairings:

  • Duck breast with redcurrant sauce
  • Vegan mushroom bourguignon
  • Cheese: Brie de Meaux or Comté

This is a bottle for Sunday roasts, intimate dinners, or quiet evenings when something understated and elegant feels just right.

Kate Says

2The 2013 vintage didn’t get much hype, but that means you can pick up graceful, food-friendly clarets like this one at a brilliant price. Soft, savoury, and Margaux through and through. Lovely nose, good maturity, brooding fruits. Supple on the palate, ready and drinking well. This is one to enjoy now."

Producer Info

Château d’Angludet, owned by the Sichel family (of Château Palmer fame), is one of Margaux’s most respected estates outside the 1855 classification. Known for traditional winemaking and a deep respect for the land, their wines are typically elegant, age-worthy, and beautifully representative of the Margaux terroir.

La Réserve d’Angludet is the second wine of the estate, made from younger vines and barrels not selected for the grand vin. But don’t be fooled – it’s made with the same care, and in less celebrated years like 2013, second wines can often over-deliver.

2013 vintage was a cooler, wetter year, but clever vineyard work and strict selection meant that producers like Angludet made fresh, balanced wines with moderate alcohol and real drinkability.

Winemaking notes:

  • Grapes: A classic left bank blend – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot
  • Ageing: Aged in French oak, with a restrained use of new barrels to preserve freshness
  • Less extraction and lighter touch in the cellar gave a wine with supple tannins, red fruit brightness, and aromatic lift
