Château Duhart-Milon’s grand vin is often described as a model of the Pauillac appellation. The broker Guillaume Lawton noted as early as 1815 that “it is very robust, with a fine color, and quite pronounced sappiness” (he describes the “sappiness” of the Médoc’s premiers crus as “something like the odor given off by finest sealing wax when it is burned”). 

Blend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot

"The most underrated wine in the Lafite stable these days has put in another strong performance with the 2020 Duhart-Milon, as this somewhat cooler, later-ripening site is well adapted to warmer vintages. Unfurling to reveal aromas of cassis, plums, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with polished tannins, terrific depth at the core and a long, sapid finish."
