PRE-ORDER
Winemaker Notes
The wine has a deep colour with a garnet hue.
The rich, packed nose opens on aromas of blackberry and marzipan. With airing, the initial fruit is complemented by an array of spice and dark chocolate notes.
The powerful and well-structured attack reveals peppery and slightly minty flavours, leading into a mid-palate underpinned by elegant and dense tannins on roasted coffee-bean and liquorice notes. A long and smooth finish rounds off a remarkably harmonious wine.
About Winery
Château d'Armailhac's history is deeply intertwined with the Armailhacq family, who first purchased the estate in the late 1600s and established a vineyard in Pauillac, Bordeaux. The name "Armailhac" originates from one of the family's members, Dominique d'Armailhacq, who was a riverboat captain on the Gironde estuary. The vineyard was originally part of a larger estate that eventually became Château Mouton Rothschild. In 1855, Château Mouton d'Armailhacq (as it was then known) was classified as a Fifth Growth in the Bordeaux wine classification. The estate later passed into the hands of Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1933, and his descendants continue to own and operate it today.
