Château DUHART-MILON
4ème grand cru classé

Known for producing one of the firmest and tightest (even robust) Pauillacs available, Duhart-Milon has since 2010 refined its style to gradually approach that of Lafite (same owner and same team). New direction and progress amply confirmed, with an unprecedented charm and fatness from the 2015 vintage onwards. Given the quality of its terroir (the only 4th Grand Cru Classé in Pauillac), Duhart-Milon has certainly not finished its progression.

As the latest Bettane & Desseauve guide (2025) points out, “So many changes in recent vintages, with a great wine that has rediscovered the depth and dimension of the greatest Pauillacs”!

J-M Quarin: 95/100 “A beautiful, deep, intense red with purple highlights. An intense nose with ripe, raspberry-like fruit. Subtle on the palate, with an airy texture, a velvety body, and a graceful development, offering plenty of flavor and an overall hedonistic character that is highly seductive. An unbeatable wine.”

Bettane+Desseauve : 94-95/100 “Powerful and full-bodied, it combines harmony, aromatic precision and a remarkable integration of oak. A particularly apt expression of the appellation’s noble style.”

La Revue du Vin de France : 94-95/100 "A wine of great precision, characterised by distinct notes of black fruit and graphite. On the palate, it is taut, very classic in its Pauillac style, with a pure, straightforward and slender profile. A wine with excellent structure, true to its identity."

Vinous (N. Martin) : 92-94/100 "2025 Duhart-Milon has a very delineated and quite mineral-driven bouquet, very focused with beautifully integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with chiselled tannins, layered graphite-infused black fruit and a strict and linear, sapid finish that could only come from Pauillac. Almost a minimalist Duhart-Milon in some ways, but less is more. "

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Duhart-Milon offers a captivating mix of brilliant red-toned fruit, blood orange, pomegranate and wild flowers. Readers will find a Duhart that bristles with energy. The purity of the flavors is just captivating. It's one of my favorite recent vintages here because of its vibrancy and textural finesse. "
