Description

France / Bordeaux / Pauillac

One of the early owners of Château Duhart-Milon is said to have been "Sir Duhart," a privateer under Louis XV. While the origins of the estate and its early owner may in truth be less distinctive, the lore of the privateer served as inspiration for the design of Duhart-Milon's labels. For a long time, the estate fell into disrepair until it was finally bought and saved by the Rothschild family in 1962. Duhart-Milon expanded rapidly as the family completed the vineyards by purchasing and exchanging plots. Major projects to recultivate the vineyards and renovate the château followed. This remarkable, 40-year achievement allowed Château Duhart-Milon to reclaim its former Grand Cru Classé status with an exceptional wine.

Château Duhart-Milon

Château Duhart-Milon, a 4ème Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, lies west of Pauillac and belongs to the Lafite-Rothschild portfolio. The vineyards rest on gravel- and sand-rich soils over limestone, providing optimal drainage and deep root penetration. Cabernet Sauvignon clearly dominates and gives the wines structure, tension and classic Pauillac notes of cedar and cassis, while Merlot adds elegance and fullness. Duhart-Milon stands for a linear, precise style with fine tannin architecture and pronounced ageing potential. Through careful parcel work and modern yet restrained vinification, the estate produces wines that reflect the DNA of Lafite: elegant, balanced and long-lived.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
