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 2019 vintage in the press:
Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 94/100
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 90/100 “The 2019 d'Armailhac is very perfumed, quite floral on the nose, touches of mint and cassis pinning this odwn as a Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with a slight bitterness on the entry. The tannins are rougher than its peers, yet balanced with a fresh saline, rather sinewy finish".
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 94/100 “This 2019, with its straight, greedy profile, unfurls a lovely frame, with sap and a well-constructed mid-palate.”
J-M Quarin (March 2022): 93/100 “Ample on the attack, juicy in the mid-palate, well-constituted, tasty and complete, the wine finishes long and noble, with lots of taste and a touch of positive austerity. Very good.”
