Critic Ratings & Tasting Notes
James Suckling – (96/100)
“A firm and racy Duhart with currants, chocolate and walnuts. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Lovely subtle fruit. A bright finish. Succulent and refined. Savory. Very, very fine. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot. Drink or hold.”
Jeff Leve – The Wine Cellar Insider (93/100)
“Red pit fruits, flowers, cedar, and plums with a touch of tobacco leaf, and create the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, vibrant, soft, and energetic with an air of elegance, refinement, and silky textures which feel great on the mid-palate, and in the finish. This is the debut vintage produced in their new cellars which helped shape the wine as it allowed the team to vinify for the first time on a parcel-by-parcel basis. Drink from 2024-2045.”
A great Pauillac wine with a very famous neighbour
The property
Located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, the Château Duhart-Milon fully embodies the spirit of this exceptional terroir. Ranked 4th Cru in the prestigious 1855 classification, this estate finds its origins in the 18th century, when the Lafite family undertook to cover Pauillac with vines, permanently shaping the wine landscape of the region.
The vineyard
Château Duhart-Milon comes from a 76-hectare vineyard, established in Pauillac to the west of Château Lafite-Rothschild. The vines flourish on fine gravel and aeolian sand soils, resting on a tertiary limestone subsoil, offering ideal conditions for the maturity of the grapes.
