Ratings: Robert Parker 88–90/100, RVF 16/20, Gault Millau 16/20
This wine, owned by Philippine de Rothschild, stands out above all for its exceptional value at this level. A wine marked by fruity aromas of morello cherry enhanced by delicate roasted and vanilla notes, round, full-bodied, and offering a long, lingering finish. It has it all!

About the estate:
Effectively managed by the Mouton Rothschild team, Château d'Armailhac is an excellent value for wine lovers. Its very reasonable price and consistent quality make it a must-have wine. The vineyard, situated on gravelly hillsides near Mouton Rothschild and Pontet-Canet, is of high quality, and the blend includes a significant percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. Under the guidance of Philippe Dhalluin, the wine has gained in body over the past decade, and it is always fun to compare it to its stablemate Clerc Millon, which relies more heavily on Merlot.
