Magnum of The Society's 150th Anniversary Margaux 2015

Red Wine from France - Bordeaux
0 star rating 0 Reviews
When it came to a Margaux for our anniversary celebrations, we were delighted that Ben Sichel at Château Angludet allowed us to blend our own unique cuvée from 2015, one of the great Margaux vintages of this century. Combining the classic perfume and silky texture associated with the commune, it is 55% cabernet sauvignon, 37% merlot and 8% cabernet franc, aged for 12 months in French oak barriques, 35% of which were new. Bottled in July 2017, it has been maturing in our cellars ever since. It is now hitting its sweet spot: scented and pure on the nose, fleshy and succulent on the palate, with notes of violets and a hint of cigar box. The tannins are perfectly rounded and ripe, lending the wine real charm and personality. For more on the story of this wine, please scroll down.

More on the wine

Back in 2015 when we contacted the Sichel family, owners of the Margaux commune’s Château Angludet, and part owners of Château Palmer, explaining the idea behind the 150th Anniversary range, they jumped at the opportunity to work with us. Angludet was bought by Peter Sichel in 1961, and over the years established itself in the UK market as one of the most popular wines from Margaux, combining as it does the classic perfume and silky texture associated with the best wines from the commune. The Wine Society receives the largest allocation of Angludet in the world, and we were delighted when winemaker Ben Sichel agreed to allow us to blend our own unique cuvée from 2015, considered one of the great Margaux vintages of this century. We put the final blend together back in 2016. Ben Sichel gave me carte blanche to do my own thing, and the 150th blend ended up with more cabernet sauvignon than the official Angludet blend.
