Elaboration

Château d´Armailhac 2012 is a red wine Grand Cru Classé 5th Classified Growth, from the Pauillac appellation, in the Bordeaux region. It is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 30% Petit Verdot. The grapes have been handpicked and carefully selected in the winery. This is an excellent vintage that can be guarded in the cellar for the next 20 to 25 years.

Taster´s notes

An attractively intense, deep and dark red. On the nose, it offers a subtle combination of red fruit and attractive oak, giving way to denser aromas of roast coffee and some slightly spicy notes. The palate is well-structured, with expressive, velvety tannins mingled with a host of ripe fruit and toasted flavours. A long and silky finish reveals excellent balance and fine expression of the terroir. We recommend pairing the wine with red meats and lambs. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC

Customer Reviews

The Winery

Since 1933, when Baron Philippe finally took full ownership, the history of Château d’Armailhac has been inseparable from that of Château Mouton Rothschild. Its vast outbuildings house the technical and agricultural equipment needed to farm the two estates’ vineyards. The house, a fine though incomplete white stone building in which the steward of the estates lived from 1947 to 1966, is not now used for residential purposes. The Château d’Armailhac vineyard is made up of three groups of parcels, the Plateau des Levantines et de l’Obélisque, the Plateau de Pibran and the Croupe de Béhéré.
