Chateau d'Armailhac 2006 - 75cl

Château d'Armailhac traces its origins to the 14th century as part of the Seigneurie de Mouton in Pauillac. It became an independent estate in 1660 under the d’Armailhacq family, who gave it its name. Classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the property was acquired by Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1933. After several name changes, including Mouton-Baron Philippe, it reverted to Château d'Armailhac in 1989 under Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. Today, her children—Camille, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild—uphold the family's legacy of innovation and excellence in producing wines from this exceptional terroir.
