Chateau Duhart-Milon 4eme Cru Classe Pauillac

Bordeaux

Pauillac

Shows density and balance, with leafy but fragrant aromatics that unfurl slowly, and bright acidity that is not overpowering to the blueberry and blackcurrant fruits. The skill of the Lafite team is clear here, and this is a classically balanced Duhart that will age well. Harvest September 25 to October 4, 32hl/h yield, above the Pauillac average. Moulin de Duhart is not being sold En Primeur. 

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Duhart-Milon pops from the glass with notes of wild blueberries, black cherries, and fresh mulberries giving way to underlying hints of cardamom, licorice, and charcoal. The medium-bodied palate is chock full of bright, black fruits with fine-grained tannins and lovely, well-knit freshness, finishing with a real skip in its step. The blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, with an alcohol of 13.1%. "We've been restructuring the vineyard for the past 8 years, with a little bit more Cabernet Sauvignon, although we also have good terroir for Merlot," says Saskia de Rothschild. "The planting density is lower - down to 7,000 vines per hectare."

Expert

Finessed, precision-cut tannins, this is a successful Duhart in the old school style, showing that here they are able to deliver a sombre, subdued but high-quality take on tannic Cabernet sauvignon. Crushed mint leaf, crayon, raspberry leaf, slate, fresh earth. Slightly higher Cabernet in the blend than usual, this perfectly encapsulates the harmony and drinkablity of 2021 in the right hands, and is one of the few that you can see really developing like a 2001, classic Duhart. 1st year organic conversion, 30hl/h yields, 50% new oak, Eric Kohler technical director, Olivier Bonneau deputy technical director (previously at Château d'Arsac).

Sommelier

On slightly cooler soils that its sibling Lafite Rothschild and often a little austere in its early years, in 2018 you will find a more generous Duhard Milon, with velvety tannins and plenty of mid palate generosity, helped by blackberry and damson fruits, and touches of chocolate shavings and spicy cigar box, still with the slate and pencil lead character so typical of the property. Great quality, will age well. 3.84ph, 37.5hl/h yield.

God nese av grønn paprika. Tanninrik men rund og lett i munnen. Veldig veldig god vin!

Amateur

Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 Duhart-Milon swans out with fragrant scents of Indian spices, menthol, and lavender oil over a core of warm cassis and plum preserves plus a touch of cigar box. The medium-bodied palate is bright and taut for its age, with fine-grained tannins and impressive tension to support, finishing minerally.

The 2013 Duhart-Milon is medium garnet colored with a touch of brick. Floral hints of roses and lavender give way to a core of prunes and forest floor with a touch of dried sage. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is soft and well-balanced with a soft-spoken finish. This is drinking at its peak right now.

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Duhart-Milon leaps with fragrant scents of kirsch, dried roses, and raspberry preserves, leading to an emerging waft of cassis, cedar, and crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled, with firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing savory and well-sustained.

This starts out reserved, and then quietly builds in strength, showing velvety tannins, creamy blackberry and blackcurrant hedgerow, full of Pauillac character and tannins but far less forbidding that it was as a young wine. Love how much this has grown into itself over ageing.

You can't go far wrong with this superb 2009. Has a kick in its step compared to many vintages of Duhart around this time, which tend to be a little more austere and buttoned up. This is infused by the generosity of the vintage, without going too far from its signature Pauillac reticence, delivering graphite, cedar, sandalwood, cassis, brambled blackberries and tons of cigar box and sage spice. Philippe Dhalluin director, under Rothschild ownership since 1962. Definitely in its drinking window, but going nowhere anytime soon.
