Château d'Armailhac 2021, 5ème Cru Classé, Pauillac

Château d'Armailhac

d'Armailhac has produced a solid and finely-tuned 2021, exhibiting the freshness and red fruits so typical of the cooler vintage. The underlying sweetness of ripe red fruits, balanced by a streak of menthol, (a signature of the heavy limestone soil seen in the vineyards), combine with a fresh, medium to light acidity and bright focused fruit. The tannins are supportive, and the oak adds a touch of sweetness and spice.

Château d’Armailhac is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised and grilled dishes. Chateau d’Armailhac is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.

Aged in 50% new oak barrels and 50% 1 year barrels for 18 months.
