Château Duhart-Milon - Pauillac - Red - 2022 :

 

Fourth Growth Finesse: Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac

As a Fourth Growth (Quatrième Grand Cru Classé) in the 1855 classification, Château Duhart-Milon stands as a testament to Pauillac’s classic elegance. Under the meticulous ownership of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1962, the château has consistently produced wines of outstanding purity and structure. Its gravelly terroir, bordering the illustrious Château Lafite Rothschild, ensures a wine built for the cellar.

Tasting Notes

A quintessential Pauillac, Duhart-Milon balances robust structure with inherent grace, making it a superb expression of its Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend.

• **Appearance:** A rich, deep ruby, gradually softening to a glorious tawny hue over time.
• **Bouquet:** Highly sophisticated, offering layers of black fruit (cassis, dark cherry), pencil lead, fine cedar, and subtle spice from its oak maturation.
• **Palate:** Full-bodied yet beautifully refined. The tannins are powerful but polished, providing excellent length and grip. Expect a core of concentrated dark fruit leading to a distinguished, lengthy finish.

Serving Suggestions

To fully appreciate its complexity, decant for at least 90 minutes. This wine is best served at 16-18°C, paired with traditional British game or a premium Sunday roast.
