Château D’Armailhac Pauillac Grand Cru Classé AOC

The origins of  Château d’Armailhac date back to 1750. At that time, the vineyard was called “ Mouton d’Armailhacq ”. Fifth Cru Classé in 1855, Château d’Armailhac shines on the lands of Pauillac. In 1931, the young Baron Philippe de Rothschild became a minority shareholder in the Mouton d’Armailhacq estate company. Subsequently, the château will become the entire property of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild company. In 1989, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild decided to rename the estate with its original name: Château d’Armailhac.

With that wealth of complementary terroirs, each grape variety can be grown in conditions that enable it to achieve its full qualitative potential. Likewise, their diversity helps to moderate the potential weather-related excesses of certain years. This unique characteristic of Château d’Armailhac is reflected in an elegant classicism that is a regular feature of the wine’s style, whatever the vintage.

Although yields were less than generous, the quality of the wines suggests that the 2020 vintage will be one of the great successes of the decade.
