Château d'Armailhac, Fifth Growth winery in Pauillac, France.
Château d'Armailhac is a winery in Pauillac covering about 70 hectares of vineyard on gravelly ground where four grape varieties grow. Production facilities include modern steel tanks alongside traditional cellars where wine ages and develops its character.
The property took shape in the mid-1700s and received its current name only in the late 1980s, after decades under Baron Rothschild's ownership. This renaming marked a shift in how the estate was managed after a long period of family-led operations.
The estate carries a name tied to its ownership history and region, shaping how visitors and locals understand Pauillac's wine identity. The careful way grapes are tended and wines presented shows the deep connection between family heritage and winemaking craft that defines this area.
Visitors can explore the property year-round on guided tours that combine the vineyards and production areas. A wine tasting of the estate's selection follows the tour in a relaxed setting.
Some of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines here have served for many years as source material for neighboring wine estates. This quiet influence on how other Pauillac wines developed is rarely noticed by visitors.
