Region: Bordeaux, France

Vintage: 2020

Composition: Bordeaux Red Blend

History: Château Duhart-Milon, previously known as Duhart-Milon-Rothschild, is a wine estate based in the Pauillac appellation of the Médoc, just north of Bordeaux city. The estate was ranked as a fourth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and is owned by its illustrious neighbor, Lafite Rothschild, and shares its vineyard management and winemaking teams. The grand vin (the eponymous, flagship wine) is known for its elegance, combined with Paulliac’s typical power.

Tasting Notes: Restrained and somber at first, but carefully constructed, with a rippling muscular texture, full of firm tannins with bright acidities underneath. Like the precision and the slightly austere cool blue fruits, pencil lead, and licorice root. Elegant, and precise, it feels very Pauillac in its density combined with fine tannins that have life and lift on the finish.
