Standing within 76 hectares of vines is Chateau d’Armailhac, owned and managed by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild family and is located south-facing, adjacent to Chateau Mouton Rothschild. The vines sit on a terroir consisting of 80% gravel and 20% clay-limestone soils. This wine is a blend of 59 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
Tasting Notes:
“Nuanced and finessed, an understated power that delivers top notes of violet and peony, showcasing the balance and freshness of 2020 at this property, and carving out its difference from siblings Mouton and Clerc Milon. Saline kick on the finish, and a wave of campfire smoke. Harvest September 10 to 29, 50% new oak for aging. Last vintage in the old cellar at this château, and the last full vintage of Jean-Paul Voelert as director.” Score: 93 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, November 2022
Serving Suggestions:
Pairs well with red meat and strong cheeses.
