Detailed Description

A sinewy Pauillac, with a peppery edge, offering tobacco and savory notes that hold sway over a core of bitter cherry and red currant fruit. A chalky echo holds the finish, which has some length.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: it is a surprisingly intense effort displaying a marvelous texture, plenty of black currant, licorice, unsmoked cigar tobacco and earthy characteristics, a full-bodied mouthfeel and stunning purity as well as density.

• Wine Spectator: Lead pencil and tobacco with licorice and currants. Full and super refined with a currants and light spice character. Open and refined and delicious bottle already.

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.
