The 2021 Château d’Armailhac is a Pauillac wine with a story of its own. The character of the region and the conditions of the vintage together define its style. This bottle invites you to look beyond the familiar tasting notes and discover its origins as well.
The 2021 vintage followed a growing season with more weather challenges than the warm years that preceded it. In Bordeaux, spring frosts, periods of high humidity, and an unpredictable summer were major concerns. The better results stemmed from careful selection and ripening decisions. In Pauillac, gravel soils and Cabernet Sauvignon often lend structure to the wine. Château d’Armailhac has been a Cinquième Grand Cru Classé since the 1855 classification and belongs to the Baron Philippe de Rothschild family. The 2021 vintage showcases the region’s more classic, fresher character. It will continue to develop in the bottle, with notes of cassis and dark cherries gradually giving way to cedar and spicy notes.
Expect blackcurrant, red and black berries, cedar, and a subtle spiciness. The tannins provide structure, while the crisp acidity keeps the fruit lively. The final flavor may change as the wine continues to age in the bottle and depending on the conditions in which it is stored.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. If necessary, let the wine breathe a bit and taste how the aromas develop. Pair a red wine like this with lamb, beef, game, or a aged hard cheese. The exact pairing depends on the dish and the bottle’s age.
