Fragrance is the calling card of 2024 Château d'Armailhac, with lifted red and black fruits, flowers and a touch of spice leading into a poised, medium‑bodied palate. Lively acidity and polished tannins frame juicy cherry, cassis and a hint of cocoa, while the elevated Cabernet Franc component brings a floral, saline edge that keeps the finish long, precise and classically Pauillac without heaviness.

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.
