Ripe blackcurrant and blueberry roll into notes of dark cherry, violets, subtle spice and cocoa in the 2022 Château d’Armailhac, giving a sense of both generosity and precision. The palate is medium to full-bodied with velvety but firm tannins, bright energy, and a long, mineral-tinged finish that hints this “baby Pauillac grand vin” character will grow more complex with time. A confident, polished d’Armailhac that clearly reflects the quality of the 2022 vintage.

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.
