d'Armailhac, 5ème Cru Classé

The origins of Château d’Armailhac date back to 1750, where wine was sold under the name of Mouton d’Armailhacq to the d’Armailhacq family. Financial difficulties forced the family to sell the estate to the Ferrand family, who in turn sold it to the young, and soon-to-be famous, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, in 1934.

In 1989, the Baron decided to restore the estate to its original name Château d’Armailhac and today, the winery is a prestigious Fifth Classified Growth of 1855, shining bright in the appellation of Pauillac.
