Good to know: Château d’Armailhac was noted to exist in Pauillac since 1680 under a different name – “Mouton d’Armailhacq“and was planted with vines in 1750. As time passed, the quality of wines significantly increased due to the use of certain techniques by the Chateau. They were able to sell the wines twice the price compared to competitors. Baron Philippe de Rothschild became a minority shareholder in 1931 and later on, acquired all the shares. The Baroness Philippine in 1989, took over after the passing of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and worked to restore the original identity to Mouton d’Armailhac giving it the name Château d’Armailhac.

TheChateau d'Armailhac 2000 wine boasts a deep, rich red hue complemented by hints of garnet. A delightful blend of floral and fruity aromas are intertwined with delicate smoky undertones on the nose.

The palate offers a well-balanced structure, characterized by mature tannins that harmoniously blend with flavors of red fruits such as redcurrant and blackcurrant, as well as hints of liquorice and spices.

The wine concludes with a long and satisfying finish that showcases a perfect balance of round and full-bodied tannins, making it a promising representation of this unique vintage.
