Chateau Duhart-Milon 2016 Vintage Overview

2016 OVERVIEW

Classically Pauillac yet more inviting than in the past, 2016 Château Duhart-Milon layers deep blackcurrant and plum fruit with notes of tobacco leaf, violet and graphite over a cool, stony frame. The palate feels poised and linear, combining juicy, dark forest fruits with fine, dry tannins and a savoury, mineral edge that stretches into a long, focused finish. A refined, quietly powerful vintage that reflects the excellent 2016 year in the Médoc and will reward patience.

About Chateau Duhart-Milon

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.
