Regular price £540.00 Sale price£600.00

Chateau d'Armailhac is a 5th Growth estate which was acquired by Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1933 (the same year his daughter, Baroness Philippine, was born). Alongside Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Chateau Clerc Milon, Chateau d'Armailhac is one of the three Pauillac estates belonging to the Mouton branch of the family. Located next to the Mouton estate, this Pauillac estate covers 76 hectares of gravel-clay soil planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. 

Chateau d'Armailhac showcases the classic Pauillac style, with firm tannins, richness and full body. The wine has notes of black cerry, cassis and spices, and despite a wet start to the year the dry, hot summer of 2018 produced grapes with excellent levels of sugar and tannin.
