5. Cru-slottet, Château d'Armailhac, blev købt af familien Rothschild i 1934. I 1989 fik slottets 1. vin sit oprindelige navn tilbage: Château d'Armailhac (efter at have båret forskellige navne gennem tiden).
The colour is dark and intense, almost black. The nose opens on fruit aromas, especially black cherry, followed by toasted, roasted notes. The wine is immediatelly full and powerful on the attack, with well-rounded tannins and fruit flavours that develop notes of vanilla, roasted coffee and toasted nuts. The long finish is sustained by slightly toasted, oaky flavours. A powerful Château d'Armailhac 5. Cru of considerable refinement.
