Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Rocking levels of darker currants, chocolate, tobacco, and spicy notes all emerge from the 2022 Château D'Armailhac, a blockbuster from this château that has ripe, velvety tannins, a beautiful mid-palate, and outstanding length. Based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, this is easily the finest Armailhac I’ve tasted. It already offers pleasure today yet deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will evolve for 20-30 years if well stored.

93-95 Barrel sample. The wine's richness is very apparent. Tannins are integrated into ripeness and solid black fruits. A touch of chocolate comes through. Yet at the end, acidity brings a fine lift.

DC 95pts

Rich and toasty nose with sun-kissed blackcurrants, liquorice, tobacco, and a touch of tar. Some warmth and baked fruit add a jammy edge. Supple yet lively, with chewy fruit offset by juicy acidity and a salty, powdery minerality. A little tight but appealing, with a fresh minty lift. The 16% Cabernet Franc is unusual for Pauillac but gives a strong backbone. Less clay than the other estates, leaving a richness on the finish that reflects the vintage. Bottled end of May. 3.74pH. 50% new oak.

The 2022 d'Armailhac is definitely a step up: fresh blackberry and blueberry fruit, just a hint of cassis, wonderful delineation and seamlessly integrated new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, smooth and sensual, pitch-perfect acidity and a creamy finish that just lures you in. Wonderful. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

This is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, and the élevage was in 50% new oak, the remainder second-fill barrels and a couple of stoneware amphorae for the Cabernet Franc, made in the new cellars (which have been in use since 2021) and made under the watchful eye of the recently appointed director Lucie Lauilhe. The nose presents a sweet and concentrated character, with a bare touch of confit confidence here. The palate feels rather gently concentrated at first, modestly knit together, with a charming and forward textural confidence, an elegantly polished substance, a finely grained tannic structure and fresh grip. A rather sappy and fresh style running into a fresh finish, which carries along a core of finely grained tannins. A good and modestly styled wine for the vintage, which should develop a harmonious evolution with time. Tasted twice. The alcohol is 14.35% with 14.5% on the label.

Wine Advocate

Aromas of cherries, blackberries, pencil shavings and creamy new oak introduce the 2022 d'Armailhac , a medium to full-bodied, sweet and dense wine that's rich and succulent, with a generous core of sun-kissed fruit, ripe tannins and an expansive finish.
