Chateau d'Armailhac 2020 shows Pauillac muscle wrapped in charm, with vivid blackcurrant and plum fruit layered by rose, dried flower and graphite notes, all carried on creamy yet finely grained tannins. The palate feels energetic and precise, combining ripe, fleshy dark fruit with a touch of spice and subtle salinity that draws the finish out long and refined.

Château d’Armailhac is a classic Pauillac fifth growth from the Rothschild family, typically Cabernet Sauvignon–led with an unusually high proportion of old-vine Cabernet Franc that lends fragrance and finesse. Grown on deep gravel and clay-limestone soils bordering Château Mouton Rothschild, it produces an elegant yet structured wine with forward dark fruit, graphite/lead-pencil notes, and solid ageing potential while remaining relatively approachable in its youth.
