รายละเอียดสินค้า
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 colour, and quite pronounced sappiness” (he describes the “sappiness” of the Médoc’s premiers crus as “something like the odour given off by finest sealing wax when it is burned”).
wine score
95 points Wine Enthusiast
This is a ripe, classic Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine. Its strict initial character blossoms out into rich black-currant flavors that exude class. Backed by acidity and with hints of the wood aging still in place, the wine is just beginning its journey. Drink from 2027.
94 points Wine Advocate
The 2018 Duhart-Milon is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. With 14% alcohol, it has a deep garnet-purple color and a seductively ripe, opulent nose of plum preserves, blackberry pie and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of spice cake, potpourri, sandalwood and eucalyptus oil. Medium-bodied, it is jam-packed with rich, spicy black fruit preserves, with floral accents and a velvety texture, finishing long and fragrant. So. Good.
93 points Wine Spectator
This is packed with succulent blackberry and black currant fruit, along with mulling spice, sweet tobacco, licorice root and alder notes. Youthfully jumbled, but the pieces are there, the mouthfeel is alluring and the length is there for sure. For the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2036.
96 points James Suckling
Sweet berries and cherries on the nose with sweet tobacco, lead pencil and blackcurrants. It’s full-bodied and very rich with layers of fruit and creamy tannins intertwined. Extremely long and creamy. Great Duhart. Try after 2026.

เนื้อหาสินค้า
The Rothschilds' Hidden TreasureChâteau Duhart-Milon is the only Fourth Growth in Pauillac, and it sits in the illustrious shadow of its owner, Château Lafite Rothschild. For decades, it was considered a quiet, reliable wine, but recent vintages have seen it step into its own light. The 2018 vintage is a standout, benefiting from the same team and expertise that crafts Lafite, but offering a distinct expression of the western side of the Lafite plateau.The vineyard of Duhart-Milon is cooler than that of Lafite, which was a massive advantage in the hot 2018 vintage. While others struggled with over-ripeness, Duhart maintained a classic "Pauillac" profile—stoic, dark, and mineral-driven. The wine captures the essence of its gravel soils, delivering that textbook lead pencil aroma that lovers of the region crave.This is a wine of pedigree and restraint. It does not possess the ethereal grace of Lafite, but rather a grounded, earthy strength. It is a "connoisseur's wine," delivering the nobility of the Rothschild stable with a slightly more rugged, authentic character that demands food and time to fully appreciate.
