The arrival of Mr. Dhalluin in 2004 not only benefited Mouton-Rothschild, but also the two other classified growths of Barony: d'Armailhac and Clerc-Milon. Their vines occupy the southern (d'Armailhac) and northern (Clerc-Milon) part of the Mouton gravel plateau. D'Armailhac is barely less rich than Clerc-Milon, but it gives the same aromatic nobility of blackcurrant, tobacco and cedar blends.
The 2015 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “The 2015 also shows itself to be very comely, charming, melted, with a lovely grain of tannin.”
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2025): 94/100 "The 2015 d'Armailhac has a vivacious, minty, finely delineated bouquet that has a spring in its step. The palate is medium-bodied, strict and focused, with sapid black fruit laced with graphite. This classy offering gains depth with satisfying, long aftertaste. It was quite an impressive showing."
