About this wine

Duhart-Milon is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated Pauillac with a smaller share of Merlot. It is firm and classically structured, with blackcurrant, cedar and graphite notes and an elegance that reflects its Lafite connection. It needs around ten years to open and good vintages age for twenty years or more.

About Duhart-Milon

Château Duhart-Milon in Pauillac was ranked Fourth Growth in the 1855 Classification. It has been owned since 1962 by the Rothschild family of Château Lafite Rothschild, who replanted and enlarged the vineyard. Its vineyards lie on the Carruades plateau and neighbouring slopes, next to Lafite.

The estate is managed by the Lafite team and is planted mostly with Cabernet Sauvignon. Duhart-Milon offers a classic, Cabernet-driven Pauillac with something of the elegance of its famous neighbour, and it has a strong following among collectors. The second wine is Moulin de Duhart.
