The 2021 d'Armailhac has turned out beautifully, bursting with attractive aromas of minty cassis and blackberries mingled with notions of pencil shavings and sweet pipe tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, ample and polished, it's supple and seamless, with a fleshy core of fruit and a licorice-inflected finish. En primeur, I compared this to a modern-day version of the estate's immensely charming 1999, and anyone who remembers the 1999 will find that the 2021 delivers just as wide a drinking window.

This fresh and vivid red has minerals and lead pencil with currants and berries. Some dried flowers. Medium body. Fine tannins and a lively finish. Crispy from bright acidity. Needs one or two years to soften slightly.

The 2021 Château D'Armailhac is terrific and, like all the releases under the Mouton-Rothschild umbrella, it has terrific depth of fruit and impressive richness. Ripe cassis, smoky tobacco, graphite, and ample minerality all emerge from this medium-bodied, beautifully balanced 2021. It plays in the fresher style of the vintage yet has a great mid-palate, good concentration, and a great finish. It will shine with just 2-3 years of bottle age and cruise for 15+ years in cold cellars.

Cool Start, Strong Finish

A cool summer was followed by a warm, dry September that rescued the 2014 vintage. d’Armailhac’s Pauillac gravel soils enabled full ripening late in the season. A vintage shaped by a decisive autumn.

Elegant and Classically Poised

The 2021 vintage in Pauillac experienced cooler temperatures and significant challenges from spring frosts, leading to reduced yields. However, careful vineyard management preserved the balance and freshness of the fruit, while the gravelly soils of d'Armailhac added depth and classic Pauillac minerality. This vintage offers a restrained yet elegant expression, with notable refinement and aging potential.
