5th Grand Cru Classé in 1855
Secure packaging and transport insurance
The Château d'Armailhac is one of the most famous Domaines in the Pauillac appellation. Having belonged to the d'Armailhacq family since the 18th century, it was awarded the title of Fifth Grand Cru Classé in the famous classification of Médoc wines for the Paris Universal Exhibition.
It was acquired by Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1933, who named it "Mouton-Baron-Philippe". In 1975, when his daughter Baroness Philippine took over its management, it became "Mouton-Baronne-Philippe". Finally, she decided to restore its identity, permanently naming it Château d'Armailhac in 1991.
Located on gravel and clay-limestone soils, its vineyard covers 76 hectares of vines, of which 55% are Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 8% Cabernet franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The wines are aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
The Château d'Armailhac is a wine that combines power and refinement, complexity and elegance, with a beautiful aromatic expression typical of Pauillac.
The nose is elegant and complex, immediately revealing aromas of ripe blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum, accompanied by subtle notes of cedar, graphite, and blond tobacco. With aeration, the bouquet opens up with hints of dark chocolate, licorice, and delicate sweet spices. On the palate, the attack is clean and structured. The wine has fine, tight tannins, still young but well integrated into the generous body. The fruit is pure and precise, supported by a balancing acidity that brings tension and freshness. The mid-palate is full-bodied, racy and harmonious, with a beautiful balance between power and elegance. The finish is long and persistent, marked by notes of black fruit, cedar and a subtle minerality.
