2024, Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac, 4ème Grand Cru Classé

Last year EP $123.00-

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot. 

This Pauillac is produced by the team who make Lafite, and it has been on top form in recent vintages. The 2024 vintage is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot.

The 2024 Duhart-Milon opens with strong Cabernet Sauvignon inflections. Blue-toned fruit, lavender, spice and dried herbs open first, all framed by brisk acids and supporting tannins that lend shape. The 2024 includes 14% press wines, about the norm here. This is a very promising Duhart. 2030-2042
91-93 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

The 2024 Duhart-Milon offers up aromas of cassis and red berries mingled with hints of violets, pen ink, liquorice and toasty oak, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with a round, integrated, charming profile, concluding with a moderately persistent finish.
90-93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.

Shows density and balance, with fragrant aromatics that unfurl slowly, and bright acidity that is not overpowering to the blueberry and blackcurrant fruits. The skill of the Lafite team is clear here, and this is a classically balanced Duhart that will age well.
92 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux.
