2018 Chateau Duhart-Milon 'Moulin de Duhart' Pauillac

Château Duhart-Milon, a close neighbor to the iconic Château Lafite Rothschild, is steeped in history and tradition. This vineyard, part of the prestigious Rothschild family since 1962, has roots that stretch back to the days of Louis XV, when a privateer named Sieur Duhart retired to Pauillac and left his mark on the region. Today, Duhart-Milon is celebrated as the only 4th Grand Cru Classé in Pauillac, a testament to its enduring quality.

Located in the heart of the Médoc, Duhart-Milon’s vineyard is truly one of a kind. With 76 hectares of vines planted on a mix of gravel, sand, and clay soils, the vineyard enjoys a prime location near the Gironde estuary. This special terroir, nurtured by nature over thousands of years, is ideal for growing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes.

Moulin de Duhart is the second wine of Château Duhart-Milon, crafted with the same care and attention as the main wine. Named after an old mill that once stood near the vineyard, Moulin de Duhart comes from younger vines and spends less time aging in barrels. The result? A wine that’s approachable, elegant, and full of character.

Pauillac stands out for its exceptional wines, demonstrated by the fact that it houses three of the five Bordeaux First-Growth wines. The wines of the region carry a trademark of rich, full red wines that have some of the most powerful tannic structures in the Medoc region. This also means their wines age incredibly well.

2018 was an amazing year in Bordeaux's Left Bank, Vinous Media, Robert Parker, and Wine Spectator blessed this vintage with a 96-point review. Wine Spectator said the wines show "terrific drive and definition"

Aging: 12 months in French oak barrels.
