Dark berry and blackcurrant fruit roll through Chateau Duhart-Milon 2011, edged by cedar, cocoa and a touch of tobacco, all carried on a fresh, slightly tangy frame. Medium-bodied with polished yet firm tannins, it feels classical and composed rather than showy, offering graceful Pauillac character and good purity rather than sheer power.

Château Duhart-Milon is the Cabernet Sauvignon–led grand vin of this Pauillac Fourth Growth estate, owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite and lying immediately west of Château Lafite Rothschild on the gravelly Milon hillside. Sourced from a single, largely contiguous block of vines on sandy-gravel and clay soils, it typically marries classic Pauillac structure and graphite-cedar notes with dark cassis fruit, offering a relatively restrained, earthy, and age-worthy expression often seen as the best-value wine in the Lafite stable.
