The finesse of the 2001 vintage suits Armailhac, delivering a delicate wine that is showing the beginnings of tertiary character in its autumnal fruits, clove and saffron studding, and smoked earth edging. Patrick Léon director, working from this vintage with Jean-Paul Voelert, who had arrived from Lynch Bages, allowing Eric Tourbier to focus simply on Mouton, with Voelart on both Armailac and Clerc Milon - an important evolution as it alllowed more focus on the individiaul estates. Jean-Louis Lafourcade in the cellars. 30% new oak.
