Using 14% Cab Franc alongside 72% Cab Sauvignon gives great aromatics here. There’s more density than in others, and a juicy but quite ripe blueberry character, again a bit unique. It’s polished, fresh and very enjoyable, certainly a winner with more presence than usual.

Château d'Armailhac

This property is under the same ownership as Mouton-Rothschild with the chai located next door and the 50 hectares of vines in three parcels neighbouring Pontet-Canet and Mouton.

It has gone through several name changes, originally Mouton d’Armailhacq, then Mouton-Baron-Philippe after the estate’s acquisition by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, and then in 1933 gender change to Mouton-Baronne-Philippe. It reverted back to d’Armailhac in 1989. The estate is planted with 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot. Less Cabernet dominated than its neighbours and generally lighter in style, it can often excel in lesser vintages. Recent improvements in the chai and greater use of new oak have led to recent vintages being bigger and richer.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
