2024 Château Duhart Milon-Rothschild

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.

A lighter vintage that highlights finesse rather than power or concentration. Fresh blue fruit with a medium body and fine-grained tannins. Fresh but supple in a refined, medium-long finish. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% merlot.

The 2024 Château Duhart-Milon is based on 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot that was harvested between the 24th of September and the 8th of October. Ripe darker berries, framboise, subtle cassis as well as spicy, floral nuances all define the aromatics, and it's a medium-bodied, pretty, layered, graceful Pauillac. It has solid ripeness, a pure, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length. (05/2025)

Deep garnet-purple colored. Bounds out of the glass with exuberant notes of black raspberries, red currants, and graphite, giving way to hints of lavender and bay leaves. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers lightly chewy tannins and just enough freshness to support the delicate red berry flavors, finishing savory. (05/2025)

A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, the 2024 Duhart-Milon was cropped at 32 hectoliters per hectare, and it was here that the Lafite team concluded the harvest. Offering up aromas of cassis and red berries mingled with hints of violets, pen ink, licorice and toasty oak, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with a round, integrated, charming profile, concluding with a moderately persistent finish.
