The Duhart-Milon 2016 is a beautifully proportioned and classically styled Pauillac from one of Bordeaux’s greatest modern vintages. Aromas of blackcurrant, red cherry, graphite, and cedar emerge with clarity, layered with subtle notes of tobacco leaf and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with finely grained tannins and a vibrant acid spine that give both structure and lift. Flavors of cassis, plum skin, cocoa, and savory mineral tones unfold gradually and precisely. The texture is firm yet polished, reflecting exceptional balance and control. The finish is long, fresh, and distinctly Pauillac—an elegant, age-worthy Duhart-Milon that will reward both patience and contemplation.
Château Duhart-Milon is a historic Fourth Growth estate in Pauillac, forming part of the prestigious Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) family. Neighboring Château Lafite Rothschild, Duhart-Milon benefits from prime gravelly soils ideally suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot playing a supporting role. The estate has undergone significant refinement over recent decades, elevating precision, vineyard management, and cellar discipline. Winemaking emphasizes clarity, balance, and classical Pauillac structure rather than overt opulence. The style consistently favors restraint, freshness, and age-worthiness. Today, Duhart-Milon is regarded as one of the most reliable and refined values among the Médoc’s classified growths.
