Nestled in the heart of Pauillac, the prestigious Château d’Armailhac has a rich history that dates back to the 14th century. This renowned estate has been passed down through generations, with two brothers, Dominique and Guilhem Armailhacq, first mentioned in local registers as owners of parcels of land in Pauillac.
Today, the third generation of the Rothschild family – Camille and Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, along with Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild – carry on the legacy of their ancestors with the same dedication and passion for producing exceptional wines from the exceptional terroirs of their estates.
With a strong attachment to Château d’Armailhac, the family acquired the estate in 1933, the same year their mother, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, was born. Along with Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Clerc Milon, Château d’Armailhac embodies their Pauillac roots and their unwavering commitment to crafting wines of the highest quality.
In 1855, Château d’Armailhac was ranked as a Fifth Growth in the prestigious Bordeaux wine classification, under the name Mouton d’Armailhacq. The estate was then owned by Armand d’Armailhacq, a pioneer in modern Médoc winemaking. Later, Comte Adrien de Ferrand continued to elevate the estate’s reputation with his dedication to improving the vineyard and winemaking techniques.
The legacy of Château d’Armailhac is intertwined with that of visionary figures in the wine industry, such as Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Under his leadership, the estate was renamed Château Mouton Baron Philippe and later, Château Mouton Baronne Philippe in honor of his second wife. After his passing, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild decided to restore the original name of Château d’Armailhac in 1989.
The label of Château d’Armailhac bears the name of Dominique Armailhac, who planted the vines on the family estate in the 18th century, taking advantage of the “planting frenzy” in the region. Today, the estate spans over 52 hectares, with a maximum of 200 words. The wines from Château d’Armailhac continue to uphold the legacy of its founders, with a distinct elegance and finesse that captures the essence of Pauillac.
