Château D’Armailhac ejes af Baronesse Philippine de Rothschild, og slottet har været i familiens eje siden 1934, hvor den unge Baron Philippe de Rothschild købte den sidste aktiepost, og endegyldigt overtog ejendommen. Han havde allerede i 1931 købt en mindre aktiepost. Slottet har haft mange forskellige navne. De første skriftelige beretningen om ejendommen ses allerede i 1680, hvor et lokalt ejendomsregister beskriver ejendommen Armailhacq. De første vinstokke skulle være blevet plantet i 1760, og da slottet kommer med i 1855 klassifikationen, benævnes ejendommen Château Mouton D’Armailhacq. Da Philippe de Rothschild overtog slottet, blev navnet ændret til Château Mouton Baron Philippe, og senere Château Mouton Baronne Philippe. Slottets nuværende, og mere oprindelige navn, bliver fra 1989 årgangen til Château D’Armailhac.
Slottets marker støder mod syd og vest op mod Pontet-Canet og mod nord og øst støder markerne op mod storebror Château Mouton-Rothschild.

A fragrant, floral nose with fresh red cherries, berries and touches of cocoa powder and graphite. Bright and poised, this has medium body, vibrant acidity and an expressive finish. No sweetness. Juicier and more classic this year, though not as concentrated. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 14% merlot and 14% cabernet franc.

Spicy black currants and floral aromas are already evident on the nose. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and fresh, with a crisp edge to the savory currants and a hint of peppery orange rind in the finish. Allow it a year or two in the bottle, and it will reward your patience. The wine consists of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 14% Cabernet Franc. This represents the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon ever used in the blend in the history of the estate. 12.9% ABV, 3.69 pH. Harvesting took place on September 25 - October 5. Drink from 2028-2045.

Lovely deep plum colour, this has some chalky tannins, good depths of cassis and greengage fruits, with the real floral edge of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, that savoury, precise, elegant side, enjoyble with salinity and lift on the finish, Here the longer stretch of drought than normal of rainfall from end of June to mid September. Harvest began September 25 though to October 8, 3.69 pH. 50% new oak.
