Château L'Armont

Owned by Jean-Philippe Caille—who also owned the famous Château l’Arrosée from 2002 to 2013— Château L’Armontis located on the southern slope of the Saint-Emilion hillside, at the foot of the hill.

Grown on sandy-loam soil with a clay subsoil, its 3.80-hectare vineyard—classified as Grand Cru—endows Château L’Armont ’s wines with suppleness, structure, and elegance. Château L’Armont’ s grape varieties are very characteristic of the appellation (75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc) and express the quintessence of the terroir: the full-bodied fruitiness of the Merlot blends perfectly with the smoky notes of the more structured Cabernet.

The 40-year-old vines are cultivated using sustainable viticulture methods, with yields limited to 35 to 40 hl/ha. With the goal of achieving optimal ripeness, a rigorous plot-by-plot selection is carried out during vinification. Château L’Armont fully expresses the exceptional character of the Bordeaux terroir.
