Famille Sichel is a sixth-generation, family-owned Bordeaux company established in 1883. The family combines ownership of estates—including Château d’Angludet, Château Argadens, and Château Trillol—with négociant winemaking and merchant activities. Benjamin Sichel leads the estates, with Fabien Laborde making Argadens. Château d’Angludet’s 32 hectares are farmed biodynamically, while long-term grower contracts give the négociant business input into vineyard practices and harvest timing. Château Argadens occupies a single five-hectare plot on one of Entre-Deux-Mers’ highest hills, on clay and limestone soils.
