High Cabernet, as is the story of the vintage on the Left Bank. A wine that also continues the new story of Armailhac following serious investment in vineyards and cellar, and technical director Lucie Lauilhé. Bright and vivid from the first moment, layered cassis, crushed mint, liqourice root, crushed rocks, an excellently precise, structed and textured Armailhac. Love it. Harvest September 7 to 30. 80ha in production, 50% new oak barrels for ageing. | Jane Anson | 2024 | 94

Druiven: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.

Château d’Armailhac, gelegen in Pauillac, is een Cinquième Grand Cru Classé. Sinds 1933 is het eigendom van Château Mouton-Rothschild. Waanzinnig veel wijn voor een, in verhouding, zeer zachte prijs. In de 70 hectare wijngaarden staan Cabernet Sauvignon (52%), Merlot (36%) Cabernet Franc (10%) en Petit Verdot (2%) aangeplant. De grand vin rijpt gedurende 18 maanden in Frans eiken vaten waarvan 30% nieuw.
