2023 Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Merlot.

Duhart-Milon has deeper clay soils than its sibling, Lafite. This proved beneficial during the late-season heat spikes; the roots were in cooler soils with more water access. The Cabernet Sauvignon (80% of the blend) could progress to perfect maturity without any significant stress. This is less austere than in the past, with warmer summers and better viticulture adding a greater suavity to the wine’s structure. But it is still a splendid showpiece of Cabernet unadorned: spicy, crunchy, gravely dark fruit, with a touch of austerity across its blackcurrant and cedar palate.

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.
