Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's charming and refined, with a deep core of fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids. This château is going from strength to strength.

Clear depth of fruit, and above all clear Pauillac character. This feels strict and confident, with beautiful balance and restraint. Duhart is one of the later-ripening and cooler Pauillac terroirs which is why in the past it could be overly austere when young, but it is benefitting from recent hot summers in terms of its fruit ripeness. Pencil lead is prominent here, along with cassis and bilberry. Very precise, very elegant, with a creaminess to the fruit through the mid palate, and overall this is an excellent Duhart.

In 1962, Baron Eric de Rothschild acquired the estate after years of neglect, frequent ownership changes, and shrinking vineyards. With the Rothschilds’ resources and expertise, Duhart-Milon flourished, benefiting from its fine gravel soils and prime vineyard sites. Back in 1855, under the Casteja family (who also owned Château Batailley), it earned Fourth Growth status in the Bordeaux Classification and ranked among the largest estates in Pauillac. Situated west of Lafite on the Milon hillside, its 76 hectares are planted with 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot. While there’s no château on the property, the wines are crafted at the chai in Pauillac. Today, Eric Kohler and Christophe Congé manage the estate with the same meticulous attention as at Lafite.\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chateau Duhart-Milon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53379805348024,"sku":"SKU-220426031439","price":315.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/75A27B80-2C91-427A-B663-7C5EDDE14915.jpg?v=1776828653","url":"https:\/\/www.vauclusecellars.com.au\/products\/chateau-duhart-milon-2019","provider":"Vaucluse Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
