Description
The château formerly known as Mouton-Baronne-Philippe, but since 1989 called d'Armailhac, is the least known of Baroness Philippine's trio of estates but is arguably the best value. Rich, dark dried fruits and floral hints on the nose are followed by a delicious palate of surprising depth and intensity. Fresh acidity and excellent concentration
of wild berry fruits contributes to the energy of this wine, while the Pauillac earthiness just adds another element to the wine's sexy character

Pauillac
The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
