2018 | Duhart Milon | Pauillac (Half Bottle)

Beautiful dark red colour with glints of black. Superb aromatic potential. Depth, complexity and oaky notes are already perfectly integrated. Soft and silky. A very dense wine with tight, delicate tannins creating excellent length on the palate.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: This is a ripe, classic Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine. Its strict initial character blossoms out into rich black-currant flavors that exude class.

• James Suckling: Sweet berries and cherries on the nose with sweet tobacco, lead pencil and blackcurrants. It’s full-bodied and very rich with layers of fruit and creamy tannins intertwined. Extremely long and creamy.

Producer Information

Château Duhart-Milon, previously known as Duhart-Milon-Rothschild, is a wine estate based in the Pauillac appellation of the Médoc, just north of Bordeaux city. The estate was ranked as a fourth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and is owned by its illustrious neighbor, Lafite Rothschild, and shares its vineyard management and winemaking teams. The grand vin (the eponymous, flagship wine) is known for its elegance, combined with Paulliac's typical power. The winery buildings are based in central Pauillac town while the single 76-hectare (190-acre) vineyard block is situated just to the west of the Lafite Rothschild vineyard in northern Pauillac. The vineyards lie around the hamlet of Milon and facing Lafon-Rochet to the north in Saint-Estèphe.The soils are a mix of fine gravel and sand on limestone, and are planted two-thirds to Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third to Merlot. This makeup is regularly reflected in the final wine although the precise proportion of the grand vin blend can vary with each vintage – for example, the 2012 features 53 percent Merlot.
