The 2009 dArmailhac has a lovely bouquet with ample blackberry, boysenberry, graphite and light mint aromas – very Pauillac and very well focused. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannin, moderate acidity, good depth and very grippy. It is not the most complex Pauillac in this group but there is fine persistence with pure black cherry and hints of cassis towards the finish.

Producer Information

Chteau d’Armailhac is a wine estate in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux’s northern Haut-Mdoc wine region. As Mouton d’Armailhac, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and is now part of the wider Baron Philippe de Rothschild portfolio of estates, including Mouton Rothschild. Improvements in quality in recent decades mean that Chteau d’Armailhac is now regarded as one of Pauillac’s best-value wines. The vineyard is located to the south of the village of Le Pouyalet, immediately next to Mouton Rothschild and near to Pontet-Canet. The estate covers 70 hectares (172 acres) and is planted with 52 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 36 percent Merlot, 10 percent Cabernet Franc and two percent Petit Verdot.
