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.

Complex aromas of blackcurrant, black olive, clove, oyster shell, pencil lead and tobacco. It’s full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Concentrated and focused with a very long, spice and mineral finish. Fantastic bottle. Try from 2026.
The core of ripe cassis, plum sauce and raspberry purée flavors have a succulent feel, while licorice snap, graphite and singed alder notes play along the edges. Nice glycerine feel through the focused and fine-grained finish. Tempting now, but time will bring more nuance. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2022 through 2035. — JM
The 2018 d’Armailhac has retained its alluring floral bouquet, delivering layers of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, crushed violet petals and background scents of marjoram and sage, all beautifully defined. The palate is perhaps just a little oakier than I recollect from barrel [I subsequently found out that this spent 17 months in barrel, longer than in the past] but still very well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious and silky-smooth toward the finish, with a touch of graphite lingering on the aftertaste. It may merit a higher score with cellaring but I will remain prudent with my score... for now.
