About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FrancePhilippe Dhaluin, the administrator of Mouton Rothschild, has a hand in the wines of Chateau d’Armailhac, creating from 2010's wonderful harvest a wine of proud perfume, vibrancy and concentration. The 70 hectares of vines are set on deep gravelly soils from which excellent Cabernet Sauvignon is the star. Alongside the preferred grape, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot accompany and enhance - planted at extremely high density (10,000 vines per hectare) the fruit is harvested and vinified traditionally to create this refined and deeply satisfying wine style.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Another sensational effort from Philippe Dhaluin, the administrator of Mouton Rothschild, this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot shows complex floral notes intermixed with forest floor, camphor, black currants and mulberries that all jump from the glass of this aromatic style of d’Armailhac. This wine possesses very good acidity, a surprisingly higher percentage of Merlot than usual, but the quality is impressive, and the good news is that there are 20,000 cases of this full-bodied beauty, which should age nicely for 15-20+ years.
