Product detailed description
In 1962, the Rothschilds purchased the Duhart-Milon estate adjacent to the grounds of their Chateau Lafite.The property had been owned by the Castéj family for more than a century, but they had sold it 25 years earlier and it had changed hands five more times since then.None of the previous owners had given the land as much time and attention as the Rothschilds.They embarked on an extensive renovation programme, planted new vines and decided to plant new varieties.The new wines from the Duhart-Milon estate soon reached the pinnacle of excellence and were hailed by wine lovers everywhere as an outstanding example of the best wines from Pauillac. The wines are fresh and balanced. 'Still closed, young, lively and restrained. With time you discover elegant, medium-bodied, bright, rich red currant and currant notes, veiled by tobacco, typical of Pauillac. It will probably retain its restrained character, but lovers of classic Pauillac will find much to like in this wine. Drink from 2026 to 2046." Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar InsiderAdditional parameters

Château Duhart Milon Rothschild
Château Duhart-Milon, formerly known as Duhart-Milon-Rothschild, is a wine estate located in the Pauillac appellation of Médoc, north of Bordeaux. The estate was classified as a Fourth Growth (4ème Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux classification and has been owned by its famous neighbor, Lafite Rothschild, since 1962, sharing vineyard and winery management teams.
The property was owned by the Castéja family for over a hundred years, but they sold it 25 years earlier, and since then, it has changed owners five more times. None of the previous owners paid as much attention and care to the land as the Rothschilds. They initiated an extensive renovation program, replanted the vineyards with new vines, and decided to plant new varieties. The vineyard covers 50 hectares and is planted with 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 21% Merlot, and a small amount of Petit Verdot.
The grand vin (the estate's flagship wine) ages for up to 18 months in oak barrels (about half of which are new barrels) and is known for its elegance combined with the typical strength of Pauillac. The wine has a full taste, with firm tannins.
