The Rothschild family acquired Chateau Duhart-Milon, a '4er Cru' in the 1855 classification, from the Castejas of Pauillac, in 1962. The property was named after the Sieur of Duhart, gun-runner to Louis XIV, who originally owned the property, and from the name of the little hamlet of Milon which separates the Duhart-Milon vineyard from that of Chateau Lafite. The vineyard covers 188 acres and is planted with the classical cepages of Medoc: Cabernet Sauvignon (67%), Merlot (33%) and a small amount of Petit Verdot. Chateau Duhart-Milon's grand vin is often described as a model of the Pauillaac appellation.

Smooth blackberry, currant and chocolate flavors. Let it open up for an hour to really bring out the flavors. Nice wine.
