2018 Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

There is a wind of change at Lafite this year, and the first evidence is this more open-textured and seductively styled Duhart. Now working with Bruno Prats, Saskia de Rothschild, the 31-year-old daughter of Eric de Rothschild, is now in charge at Lafite and its other wineries, and she advises that this wine is more indicative of her preferred stylistic direction. Drink 2024-2035.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 93-95/100
The 2018 Duhart-Milon is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, with the Cabernet Sauvignon harvested September 25 to October 4 and the Merlot harvested September 17-25, and it has 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of Black Forest cake, plum preserves and crme de cassis with hints of spice cake, woodsmoke, potpourri and eucalyptus. Full-bodied, rich and laden with layers of black fruit preserves and spices, it has a velvety texture and just enough freshness, finishing long. Very impressivethe densest, most opulent Duhart I have tasted!Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 23/04/2019

About this wine

Chateau Duhart-Milon

Château Duhart Milon is a Pauillac estate owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild that produces on average 28,000 cases of wine per year. The wine chais are located in Pauillac town and the property has a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Médoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds.
