Histoire du domaine
The estate owes its name to the knight Bertrand d'Angludet, who had his residence built there in the 12th century. The vine is believed to have been introduced in the early 17th century, and the vineyard appears on the Cassini map of 1758. In 1791, upon the death of Pierre Legras, the property was divided among his four heirs; according to the estate, this fragmentation explains its absence from the 1855 classification. Château Angludet was nevertheless distinguished as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 1932. In 1961, Peter and Diana Sichel purchased a then-neglected property and set about restoring the buildings and the vineyard. Their son Benjamin Sichel subsequently took over the management and now oversees all viticultural work, vinification, and aging. The property remains in the hands of the Sichel family, whose children and grandchildren continue the family enterprise.
