Château Duhart-Milon – Pauillac – Red – 2006:

 

The Noble Structure of Pauillac

Château Duhart-Milon, a Fourth Growth (Quatrième Grand Cru Classé) from the prestigious Pauillac appellation, is a benchmark for structured and elegant Bordeaux. Owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1962, this estate benefits from the same exacting standards as its ‘big brother,’ Lafite. The vineyards, situated on fine gravel soils adjacent to the Carruades plateau, yield a wine of remarkable depth and aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Duhart-Milon is celebrated for its classic Pauillac profile, where finesse meets power, driven by a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon.

• **Color:** Deep garnet red, gaining brick-red nuances with maturity.
• **Nose:** Refined and complex, featuring dominant notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, interwoven with cedar, graphite, and a hint of fresh tobacco leaf.
• **Palate:** The entry is precise, leading to a dense yet incredibly silky tannic structure. The finish is long, persistent, showcasing mineral notes and the hallmark freshness of Pauillac.

Pairing & Service

This majestic wine requires a minimum two-hour decanting period for younger vintages. Serve at 61-64°F (16-18°C) alongside rich, savory dishes.
