About Château Peyrabon and Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois
The property was bought ten years ago by Patrick Bernard, who made significant changes to the vineyard as well as the wine-making process. The wine is mostly a blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot and is made using modern traditional techniques (minimal intervention—for example vertical wine presses which are gentle and rely on gravity).
An excellent hand-crafted Pauillac. The 2003 won the prize for International Wine Challenge Red Wine of the Year. Excellent value for money.

About La Fleur Peyrabon
The La Fleur Peyrabon is grown on similar sandy gravel soil that is characteristic of this part of France. The La Fleur, however, is derived from seven hectares that lie within the Pauillac region. In 2005 the property bought an additional 2 hectares situated in a prime location between Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Mouton-Rothschild and Château Pontet-Canet to further improve the quality of this elegant wine.
Château d’Angludet, the home of the Sichel family, punches far above its weight and now ranks among the best made wines in Margaux. The 2007 is described by Decanter Magazine: “4 Stars—Deep black red, purple rim, really well extracted and well-expressed nose of crushed black berry fruits, big and plummy, fleshy flavours, restrained by the firmness of the Cabernet, a touch of green, but the broadness of the fruit will show through. Drink 2012-20. (16.5 points)”. It is very good indeed for the price.

About Château d’Angludet
The Sichel family home and vineyard at d'Angludet in Margaux receives very special loving care and attention from the owners of Château Palmer and other vineyards—and produces wonderful wines from aged vines. The terroir at d'Angludet is why Bordeaux is centre of the fine wine industry—and always will be. Margaux normally produces more delicate and scented wines than its more northerly neighbours in the Médoc.
We also offer the 2001 vintage, which is a firm favourite of all of ours.
