Why We're Buying
The Château Duhart-Milon grand vin is considered the archetype for Pauillac wine. It's robust, forward, and beautiful. It doesn't hurt that the estate is managed by Charles Chevallier, who also oversees the operations at the legendary Château Lafite Rothschild.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 63 Cabernet Sauvignon and 37 Merlot, it displays an inky/blue/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, forest floor, licorice, lead pencil, cedar and subtle barrique smells. Viscous and full-bodied, it is the most concentrated and broadest example of this cuvee I have tasted in over three decades. It will be ready to drink in 5-7 years and should last for three decades or more. Consumers looking to maximize value should be checking out Duhart Milon, as this may be the single smartest purchase in this great and historic vintage!
Jeb Dunnuck
Talk about value, the 2009 Duhart-Milon is straight up sensational stuff. Made from 63 Cabernet Sauvignon and 37 Merlot, it gives up classic notes of blackcurrants, pencil shavings, saddle leather and smoked herbs, it’s full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with fine tannin, impeccable balance and a great, great finish. It’s a heavenly bottle of wine that will compete with the best out there. Buy this wine!
Wine Enthusiast
A rounded wine, its tannins submerged into the ripe fruits. It feels soft, and there is just a bite of alcohol. The structure is soft, generous, opulent.
James Suckling
This is superb, with so much beautiful subtle fruit and wonderful flowers. Full and very lively, with super fine tannins and a lively finish. Very exciting. Best ever from here. Try in 2018.
Wine Spectator
This takes a fleshy, rather toasty approach, showing roasted plum and black currant fruit, with a smoked mesquite note on the loam-tinged finish. There’s more breadth than depth, but this has the latent minerality to last a long time in the cellar. Best from 2015 through 2027
