2017 Chateau d’Armailhac 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac 12x75cl

Chateau d'Armailhac

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 92

Drink To: 2021-2037

Swamped with the juiciness of cassis, Château d’Armailhac produces a sumptuous flavour profile where luscious, ripe fruits dominate. Its deep gravelly soil is a terroir favoured by Cabernet Sauvignon, which allows the grapes to thrive. At 172 acres, Château Armailhac’s blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (c.56%), Merlot (c.32%), Cabernet Franc (c.10%), and Petit Verdot (c.2%). Currently owned by the Mouton Rothschild branch of the Rothschild family, Armailhac isn’t overshadowed by its perhaps more famous counterpart, but instead reaps the same benefits of its illustrious neighbour through both their unrivalled expertise and enviable terroir.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 D'Armailhac comes bounding out of the glass with bold notions of baked plums, redcurrant jelly and creme de cassis plus wafts of violets, dark chocolate and fragrant earth. Medium-bodied, the palate bursts with energetic red and black fruits, framed by ripe, grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and vibrant.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Enticing blueberry sweetness on the nose. Juicy and pure with fresh blackcurrant. Good energy from bright acidity that is well managed. All summer fruits and vanilla bean on a moreish finish. (TP)
