Armailhac 5 ème Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, 2022

Château d’Armailhac 2022 is a classic Pauillac from one of Bordeaux’s most respected Fifth Growth estates, offering the depth, structure, and refinement that make this appellation so admired. Produced in the heart of the Médoc, it combines dark-fruited power with the elegant restraint that has long defined great Left Bank wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 vintage typically shows a deep ruby-purple colour, hinting at its concentration and youthful energy. The nose is layered with blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, and a touch of violet, with subtle spice and toasted oak adding complexity. On the palate, it is poised and structured, with firm but polished tannins supporting flavours of cassis, dark plum, tobacco leaf, and crushed stone. The finish is long and savoury, with the kind of backbone that suggests excellent ageing potential over the next decade or more, and likely even longer in a strong cellar.

Production
Château d’Armailhac comes from Pauillac on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils on a limestone and clay base help produce wines with both power and finesse. The estate benefits from excellent drainage and the moderating influence of the nearby Gironde, while careful vineyard management and hand-harvesting help preserve quality in the fruit. Vinification is carried out with precision to emphasize purity, structure, and the estate’s distinctive Cabernet-driven character.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game, or hard cheeses such as aged Comté and mature Cheddar. Serve at around 16–18°C; decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if drinking young, as it will help open the bouquet and soften the tannins.

Producer
Château d’Armailhac is a historic Pauillac estate with roots reaching back centuries and a long-standing reputation for producing classically styled Bordeaux. Classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Classification, it holds an important place in the region and is known for wines that balance tradition, structure, and elegance. Today, it continues to stand out as a dependable and highly regarded name in Left Bank Bordeaux.
