Château d'Armailhac, the new era
Grand Cru Classé close to Château Mouton Rothschild, Château d'Armailhac has 77 hectares of vines spread over three sections, revealing the typical diversity of the Pauillac appellation. A new era opened in 2021 for Château d'Armailhac. This year was marked by the arrival of Lucie Lauilhé, the new director of the estate, but also by the inauguration of the new vat room and the new cellar. These changes will bring greater precision to each stage of the production of this great wine, giving it a whole new dimension.
The 2024 vintage
Climatic conditions:
2024 was a challenging vintage at the beginning and at the end of the growing season, though fortunately the weather turned fair at critical times for quality. The hot, dry and sunny summer caused a water shortage that favoured mature tannins and encouraged the synthesis of anthocyanins. From tilling in spring to harvest, committed people and highly effective technical resources kept us on the front foot and meant that we were never left having to react after the event. That fine-tuned vineyard management helped us to make fresh, highly aromatic, refined and elegant wines that perfectly illustrate the Atlantic expression of the terroirs they come from.
Tasting notes:
Ruby red with purple highlights, the wine opens with vibrant aromas of blueberry and raspberry, lifted by subtle notes of blackcurrant bud and a hint of peppermint. The bouquet is balanced and fresh, with red fruits mingling with delicate floral nuances. Lively, precise, and linear on the palate, it shows great energy before unfolding a silky, elegant texture. Its finesse and precision, enhanced by a subtle saline touch, carry through into a long, pure, and graceful finish.
