Located in the heart of the Pauillac vineyard, Château Duhart-Milon owes its creation to a privateer under Louis XV who retired to the town's port and was named Sieur Duhart. From the 18th century onwards, Milon's wines served as an annuity for the seigneur de Lafite and was at the time considered a Second vin.
The Château Duhart-Milon would be named Quatrième Grand Cru Classé in the famous 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition.
In 1962, it was acquired by the Domaines Baron de Rothschild who were at the helm of its illustrious neighbor, Château Lafite Rothschild.
The Château Duhart-Milon watches over a 75-hectare vineyard situated on fine gravel soils with a limestone subsoil. The grape varieties are 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot. The wines are aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
The estate produces a Second wine, Moulin de Duhart.
The wines of Château Duhart-Milon are finely structured, offering plenty of concentration and freshness while letting beautiful fruity and spicy notes express themselves.
The wine displays a magnificent purple color with slightly brick-red highlights. The nose is full and complex, marked by aromas of ripe blackcurrant, black plum, and candied cherry, evolving toward noble tertiary notes of cedar, cigar box, leather, and undergrowth. With aeration, nuances of graphite, blond tobacco, and a slightly balsamic touch appear. On the palate, the attack is supple but structured. The texture is generous with mellow but still present tannins, bringing depth and structure. The black fruit remains expressive, supported by well-integrated acidity that balances the richness of the whole. The finish is long and elegant, marked by a mineral structure and a slightly smoky touch.
