Colour Purple robe with hints of violin |
|
Bouquet discreet, but already deep and warm, with hints of raspberry and cinnamon |
|
Flavour straightforward and full, in the purest Duhart Milon style. The wine opens up gradually, rising crescendo in power. The finish is harmonious, finishing brightly on red fruits, accompanied by discreet vanilla notes… |
“For a long time, Duhart-Milon was considered as a wine of great ageing potential, but austere in its young years. Today, the precision of our viticulture and the performance of our new facilities allow us to produce more attractive and accessible wines when young with good ageing potential.”

Pauillac is located on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, approximately 40km north of Bordeaux. With the tempering influence of the estuary and a great diversity of soils originating from both the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, Pauillac boasts exceptional climate and geological conditions for the production of outstanding wines.
Winemaking
Château Duhart-Milon is made according to traditional Bordeaux methods. The grapes are carefully sorted and placed in concrete or stainless-steel vats depending on their provenance for alcoholic fermentation. Gentle pumping over is carried out during fermentation to optimize extraction. Total maceration time is about 20 days before racking. Following this rigorous selection, the wine is blended and transferred to oak barrels (50% new).
Once the wines have undergone malolactic fermentation, they are transferred to French oak barrels made by the Tonnellerie des Domaines in Pauillac. Each barrel is tasted individually in December in order to determine which ones will be selected for the grand vin.
