Château d'Armailhac 2019

Pauillac AOC 5eme Grand Cru Classe

Wine Advocate called this 93-point 2019 Château d'Armailhac, "full-bodied, velvety and perfumed", "fleshy" and "beautifully polished". From the same team as Mouton-Rothschild and Clerc Milon, you'd expect no less. Classic Pauillac of great longevity.

Château d'Armailhac, a 5ème Cru Classé Pauillac property, is located immediately next to its owners, Château Mouton Rothschild. The same team guides its winemaking. It's also home to some of the oldest vines in the Médoc, with plantings dating back to 1890. Their 2019 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, matured in a combination of new oak barrels (30%) and 2nd fill barrels from Mouton Rothschild. It produces a fine Pauillac with vibrant berry and cherry flavour with notes of liquorice, pepper and spice. Tightly wound, with lovely balance and poise, it still needs time. The wines of this estate have improved significantly over the last decade, and now represents one of Pauillac's best value buys.

"Fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of succulent fruit, beautifully polished, powdery tannins" William Kelley
