2021 Château d'Armailhac Pauillac

Château d'Armailhac belongs to Château Mouton Rothschild and it is the same team that takes care of the vinification under the leadership of Mr Philippe Dhalluin. The very qualitative terroir consists for 80% of a hillside rich in stone (just like the neighbours Ch. Mouton Rothschild and Ch. Pontet Canet). The mother house does everything to keep the quality as high as possible. The wine has had a very nice constitution and very nice volume in recent years.

This beautiful 2021 Château d'Armailhac Pauillac (Grand Cru Classé) is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. In the glass, d'Armailhac has a deep garnet-purple colour. The 2021 d'Armailhac, matured in 50% new oak, is the first vintage vinified in the new renovated winery, which was completed a month before the harvest. It has a fairly austere bouquet, tight and focused, with brooding dark berries, pencil box and tar, quite classic in style. The palate is harmonious and soft with fine tannins, just the right amount of acidity and a juicy finish that lingers on the palate.
