Chateau D'Armailhac 2000 Chateau D'Armailhac Pauillac
Winemaker Notes The wine has a fine, dark red color with a garnet tint. The nose, both floral and full of fruit, reveals fine smoky notes. On the palate, well-balanced structure on forward mature tannins, mingles with red fruit flavors (redcurrant, blackcurrant), licorice and spices. The long, lingering finish, displaying a fine harmony between round and full-bodied tannins, bodes well for this characteristic vintage. 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.
