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.

Based on 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2019 Château D'Armailhac showed beautifully from barrel two years ago, and it doesn’t disappoint now from bottle. Despite the high Merlot content, it has a firmer, focused, youthful style that's going to benefit from short-term cellaring. Giving up plenty of ripe black cherry, mulberries, and cassis-like fruit as well as textbook Pauillac lead pencil, forest floor, and tobacco, it's medium to full-bodied, has good mid-palate density, subtle background oak, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. It shows the vintage's more elegant, classic style yet doesn't lack for concentration or length. It's going to benefit from just 3-4 years of bottle age and drink fabulously well for two decades. It's the finest d’Armailhac I've tasted.
A solid, linear red with a beautiful core of fruit and firm tannins, showing blackcurrants and finesse. Full and compact. It’s very fresh and aromatic with violets and hints of spices. Clean and vivid at the end, 62% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 9% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Try after 2025.
More classically proportioned than the exuberant 2018, the 2019 D'Armailhac wafts from the glass with aromas of violets, blackberries and cassis complemented by subtle hints of licorice, sweet soil tones and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and perfumed, it's fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of succulent fruit and beautifully polished, powdery tannins.
