Chateau D'Armailhac, Pauillac 5 2023

Château d’Armailhac 2023 is a classic Pauillac red from a historic Fifth Growth estate in the Médoc’s 1855 Classification. Crafted under the direction of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, it combines the appellation’s hallmark cassis and graphite character with precise structure, fresh acidity and refined oak integration.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby colour with youthful purple highlights. On the nose, aromas of blackcurrant and other dark berries are complemented by graphite, subtle spice and the distinctive mineral character associated with Pauillac. The palate is firm yet well balanced, with ripe tannins, lively acidity and a focused, classically structured finish. Its freshness and tannic framework give it excellent potential to develop further in bottle, while remaining approachable with decanting in its youth. It should evolve gracefully over the next 8–15 years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
The estate lies in the northern part of Pauillac, adjoining renowned classified growths, and covers approximately 80 hectares planted on the classic deep gravel soils of the Médoc. Grapes are vinified parcel by parcel in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, allowing each lot to express its character with precision. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine matures for around 18 months in French oak barrels, a proportion of which are new, adding structure and polish without overshadowing the terroir.

Food & Serving
A natural match for rack of lamb, grilled or rare-to-medium beef, and game, this Pauillac also works beautifully with classic French dishes served with rich, refined sauces. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decant for 1–2 hours when drinking young to soften the tannins and allow the aromatic complexity to unfold; older bottles should be handled more gently and decanted only if necessary to remove sediment.
