2020 Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Cabernet Sauvignon 72%, Merlot 28%.

This is the first vintage in Duhart’s new cellar, featuring gravity flow and fermentation tanks individually tailored to each plot. This yields a more diverse palette from which to create the final blend. Factor in the superb quality and fruit health in 2020 and this is the most complex Duhart yet. The bouquet is assertive, but not overpowered by the black fruits. The palate carries a wonderful counterpoint between the wine’s juicy, fresh plumpness, and the fine-grained, gravelly tannins. This remains a little aloof, but its highlights are pin-sharp.

Pauillac

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.

Chateau Duhart-Milon

Château Duhart Milon is a Pauillac estate owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild that produces on average 28,000 cases of wine per year. The wine chais are located in Pauillac town and the property has a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Médoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds.
