Founded in 1933 by its neighbour Mouton-Rothschild, Château D'Armailhac is Bordeaux's best-kept secret. Not only does the wine benefit from the same "terroir" as its first-growth cousin ... it is also made by the Mouton-Rothschild winemaking team - and it's even aged in the same barrels! The result is fantastic - a claret with all the hallmark elegance of Mouton-Rothschild at a fraction of the price!

Robert Parker is a big fan of the wine, especially this terrific vintage - "The 2004 is elegant with fine tannin, sweet raspberry and black cherry fruit as well as hints of herbs and new oak. It possesses that crunchy, juicy fruit character."
