History of Château Duhart-Milon

The history of Château Duhart-Milon dates back to the early 18th century, when the vines of Milon were used to produce the second wine of Château Lafite. At that time, the estate was already part of the viticultural heritage of the de Ségur family, owners of several prestigious estates in Pauillac. It was under the direction of Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, nicknamed "the Prince of Vines" by Louis XV, that the vineyard acquired its renown.

In 1855, during the famous classification of the Médoc crus, Duhart-Milon was recognised as the only 4th Grand Cru Classé in the commune of Pauillac, a sign of the exceptional quality of its terroir. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, a period of instability began. The estate changed hands several times, and the quality of the wines gradually declined. It was not until 1962, when the Rothschild family acquired Duhart-Milon, that the estate embarked on a true renaissance. Under their management, significant work was undertaken to restore the vines, modernise the facilities, and restore Duhart-Milon's place among the great wines of Bordeaux.

Today, the estate is still owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, and continues to be managed with a vision of excellence. With Saskia de Rothschild at its helm since 2017, Duhart-Milon is committed to a sustainable approach, notably by engaging in an organic conversion of its vineyards.

The 2009 vintage of Château Duhart-Milon receives a 97/100 from Robert Parker, highlighting the elegance and finesse of this Pauillac appreciated by connoisseurs.

Terroirs and Vines of Château Duhart-Milon

Château Duhart-Milon benefits from an exceptional terroir on the left bank, located in one of the most sought-after regions of Bordeaux: Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc. The estate's 76 hectares of vines are planted on fine gravel soils, mixed with aeolian sands and a limestone substratum, characteristics that give the wines their typicity and complexity.

The vineyard is composed of two main grape varieties: 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot. This choice of grape varieties is perfectly suited to the cool terroir of Duhart-Milon, particularly thanks to the north-facing exposure which allows for a slow ripening of the grapes, thus producing wines that are both powerful and elegant. The average age of the vines is 30 years, and yields are limited to guarantee optimal concentration of aromas and high fruit quality.

Meticulous work is carried out throughout the year to maintain the quality of the vineyard. The estate regularly undertakes drainage work, replanting and the purchase of neighbouring plots to consolidate its terroir. Each plot is vinified separately in order to preserve the integrity of its characteristics and to select only the finest lots for wine production.

Winemaking at Château Duhart-Milon

Winemaking at Château Duhart-Milon is a rigorous process that combines tradition and modernity. The estate recently modernised its facilities, with the construction of new cellars and modern vat rooms in 2020. This infrastructure allows for plot-by-plot vinification, thus offering optimal control over the quality of the wines.

The harvest is carried out by hand, in order to select the finest grapes. Once harvested, the grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, preserving the freshness and purity of the aromas. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in vats to guarantee additional finesse.

The wines of Château Duhart-Milon are then aged for 14 to 16 months in French oak barrels, of which 50% are new. This barrel ageing contributes to the complexity and elegance of the wines, without masking the characteristics of the terroir. Thanks to this precise method, the wines of Duhart-Milon reveal a fine tannic structure and a perfect balance between power and finesse.

The cuvées of Château Duhart-Milon

Château Duhart-Milon produces primarily two cuvées: the Fine Wine Château Duhart-Milon and its second wine, Moulin de Duhart. Each of these cuvées expresses the unique character of this exceptional estate.

Château Duhart-Milon

The Fine Wine of Château Duhart-Milon is often described as a classic model of the Pauillac appellation. Produced from the oldest vines on the estate, it is distinguished by its great depth and aromatic intensity. Critics regularly praise its aromas of ripe black fruits, cedar and tobacco, as well as its tight tannic structure, which gives it an excellent ageing potential.

Château Duhart-Milon is a serious wine, which can be enjoyed after several years of cellaring. Enthusiasts particularly appreciate its ability to evolve with time, developing more complex notes of undergrowth, leather and spice over the decades.

Moulin de Duhart

Moulin de Duhart is the second wine of the estate, produced from the youngest vines of Duhart-Milon. Although it is a second wine, it benefits from the same careful attention as its elder sibling, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Aged in barrels for a shorter period, Moulin de Duhart is distinguished by its more supple and approachable style, while retaining a fine structure and refined balance.

This wine seduces with its aromas of crunchy red fruits, supple tannins and a silky finish. It is ideal for earlier drinking, but also has good ageing potential.

Pauillac, one of the most prestigious appellations in the Médoc, is among the great wines of Bordeaux, with remarkable vintages that have marked its history. Among the finest vintages are those of 1975, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1989, and 1990, celebrated for their complexity and longevity. The years 1995, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2005 also stand out for their richness and power. More recently, the vintages 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 have confirmed the exceptional potential of Pauillac, offering wines that are both elegant and powerful, perfect for long ageing.
