Currant and dark berry fruit run through the 2021 Château d’Armailhac, edged by pencil shavings, a touch of tar and a lifted floral spice that keeps it lively and precise. Medium-bodied yet surprisingly generous at the core, it glides on fine, smooth tannins and bright, crunchy acidity, finishing with a cool, graphite-like bite that speaks clearly of Pauillac in a fresher, classical year.
Grilled lamb chops with rosemary; Roast duck with five-spice and cherries; Dry-aged ribeye with pommes frites

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.
