A Fifth Growth Pauillac: Power, Finesse, and Lineage

Owned by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild family, Château d'Armailhac stands proudly in Pauillac, recognized as a Fifth Classified Growth of 1855. Situated on deep gravel soil, the estate benefits from the same exceptional terroir as its prestigious neighbour, Mouton Rothschild. The blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, gives the wine its characteristic structure, longevity, and elegance.

Tasting Notes & Sommelier Insight

Expect a dense, vibrant robe and an assertive bouquet of intense blackcurrant, blackberry, and subtle mint, evolving into classic notes of cigar box and pencil shavings with age. The palate is full-bodied and well-defined, showing great depth of fruit framed by powerful yet finely-grained tannins. The wine consistently offers superb quality and excellent value within the Pauillac appellation, rewarding patient cellaring.
