Château Duhart Milon Rothschild 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.
Duhart Milon Rothschild's vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 30%and Cabernet Franc 5%) border Lafite Rothschild. Vinification includes oak ageing, up to 40% new.
Duhart Milon Rothschild is classified as a 4ème Cru Classé.

Description
The 2011 Chateau Duhart-Milon displays a lovely purple-tinted colour. The nose, dominated by wood at first -a slowly dissipating barrel effect- is followed with notes of red fruits, tobacco, and spices. This Pauillac fine palate is round and fresh. The 2011 Chateau Duhart-Milon reveals a superb finish with complex fruit flavours: an excellent wine despite unfavourable vintage conditions.Details
