Medium to full-bodied, velvety and textural, it's sweet and layered, with a gourmand core of fruit underpinned by powdery tannins and lively acids. A decade ago, Duhart could be a somewhat austere wine, but today it's much more integrated and harmonious.

With the tempering influence of the estuary and a great diversity of soils originating from both the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, Pauillac boasts exceptional climate and geological conditions for the production of outstanding wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerroir\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Duhart-Milon’s vineyard consists of a single block of vines adjacent to Château Lafite Rothschild, on the hillside to the west of the Carruades plateau. The property has 76 hectares of vines. The soil consists of fine gravel mixed with aeolian sand on a tertiary limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Duhart-Milon is made according to traditional Bordeaux methods. The grapes are carefully sorted and placed in concrete or stainless-steel vats depending on their provenance for alcoholic fermentation. Gentle pumping over is carried out during fermentation to optimize extraction. Total maceration time is about 20 days before racking. Following this rigorous selection, the wine is blended and transferred to oak barrels (50% new).\u003cbr\u003eOnce the wines have undergone malolactic fermentation, they are transferred to French oak barrels made by the Tonnellerie des Domaines in Pauillac. Each barrel is tasted individually in December in order to determine which ones will be selected for the grand vin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39981295075392,"sku":"RDFR20220017","price":169.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/Chateau-Duhart-Milon_done_8882363b-1241-4787-8904-eca25b1779dc.jpg?v=1707198700","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/chateau-duhart-milon-domains-barons-de-rothschild-pauillac-2022-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
