A Fourth Growth Pauillac owned by the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), Château Duhart-Milon reveals aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, cedar, graphite, tobacco, violet, and subtle spice. Elegant yet powerfully structured, it delivers refined tannins, vibrant freshness, exceptional precision, and a long, age-worthy finish with classic Pauillac character.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, grilled ribeye, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.

The 2020 Chateau Duhart-Milon is a much more concentrated, serious wine. Based on 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot hitting 12.5% natural alcohol, with a pH of 3.91, its deep ruby/plum color is followed by medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of darker currants, cherries, damp earth, ripe tobacco, and graphite. Beautifully balanced, elegant, and straight-up seamless, it shows the classic, focused style of the vintage and will be a modern day classic from this terroir. Best After 2027.
James Suckling
The most underrated wine in the Lafite stable these days has put in another strong performance with the 2020 Duhart-Milon, as this somewhat cooler, later-ripening site is well adapted to warmer vintages. Unfurling to reveal aromas of cassis, plums, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with polished tannins, terrific depth at the core and a long, sapid finish.
Wine Enthusiast
This ripe wine has some serious tannins and rich black fruits. Behind the structure, a swathe of black fruits gives the wine concentration and ripeness.
