Chateau Duhart Milon

Chateau Duhart-Milon, the 4th Classified Growth in Pauillac which is next door to Chateau Lafite Rothschild, was purchased by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) back in 1962. "It would have been nonsense not to acquire such a great neighbouring vineyard," said Baron Eric de Rothschild. Chateau Duhart-Milon’s grand vin is often described as a model of the Pauillac appellation - very robust, with a fine colour, and pronounced sappiness, and is approachable as the most affordable Classified Growth from the Lafite Group.

As Robert Parker has said, "it is time (for drinkers) to take a look at Duhart-Milon. The Rothschilds have invested heavily in resurrecting this property to near super-star status." Next Friday, we will be tasting three interesting vintages (2014, 2007 and 2004) of Chateau Duhart-Milon from the mystical property of Chateau Lafite Rothschild with Mr. Jean-Sebastien Philippe of Domaines Barons de Rothschild.
