Château Armailhac 2016 from Pauillac, located in the prestigious Bordeaux region, embodies a rich and complex expression of its terroir. This Médoc wine, although not specified here, is typically a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The 2016 vintage is renowned for its exceptional balance and depth, showcasing ripe berry flavours, intricate tannins, and a long, elegant finish. The terroir of Pauillac, with its gravelly soils and maritime climate, gives rise to wines of great structure and longevity. Château Armailhac, once owned by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, is esteemed for its meticulous wine-making and storied heritage, contributing to its esteemed reputation.
For pairing, consider rich, savoury dishes that can stand up to the wine's robust nature. A classic Boeuf Bourguignon or a lamb rack with herb crust will enhance the wine's flavours. For those looking to explore regional options, a duck confit will complement its firm tannic structure perfectly, providing a delightful harmony of tastes.
When tasting, serve Château Armailhac 2016 at around 16-18°C (60-64°F), allowing it to breathe in a decanter for about an hour before serving. Begin by examining the wine in the glass, observing its deep ruby colour. On the nose, enjoy the bouquet of dark fruits, cedar, and subtle earthy notes. Finally, sip slowly to appreciate the structured palate and lingering finish, savouring the layers of complexity.
