Château L'Armont

Owned by Jean-Philippe Caille alongside the renowned Château l’Arrosée from 2002 to 2013, Château L’Armontis situated on the southern slope of the Saint-Emilion hillside, at the foot of the hill.

Resting on sandy-loam soil with a clay subsoil, its 3.80-hectare vineyards, classified as Grand Cru, lend the wines of Château L’Armont 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 35–40 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.
