The history of Chateau Duhart-Milon is not as well known as it should be. In the 18th century the wines of Milon became the "second" wine for Chateau Lafite. The 1855 classification awarded Duhart-Milon the only 4th growth in Pauillac, recognizing it for the quality of its soil. Sometime between 1830-1840 35 acres was left to the Casteja family who subsequently possessed a 99acre vinyard name Duhart-Milon. Over the years the property changed hands many times and suffered a decline in the quality of the wines. The property was acquired in 1962 by the Rothschild family who totally overhauled the vineyards and brought back the quality of the wine as a 4th growth. The 2016 Duhart-Milon is a red Bordeaux blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot and shows plums, blueberries, cassis, violet and earth notes on the nose with full-bodied flavours on the palate of graphite, leafy herbs and sweet tannins.
