Château Duhart-Milon Pauillac Grand Cru Classé AOC (by Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite)

Château Duhart-Milon is a highly regarded wine estate in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. It holds the prestigious status of being the only Fourth Growth (Quatrième Cru Classé) winery in the historic 1855 Official Classification of Bordeaux Wine located within the commune of Pauillac.

Notably, the estate is owned and managed by Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, meaning it shares the exact same winemaking expertise, vineyard team, and technical direction as its legendary next-door neighbor, Château Lafite Rothschild. Its vineyard consists of a single block of vines adjacent to Château Lafite Rothschild, on the hillside to the west of the Carruades plateau. The property has 76 hectares of vines. The soil consists of fine gravel mixed with aeolian sand on a tertiary limestone.

Compared to Lafite, Duhart-Milon’s terroir proved to be drier in 2018 for the Cabernet Sauvignon, but the Merlot terroir is more clayey, resulting in two different responses to the weather conditions.
