2025 Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac

2025 Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac

An elegant and finessed style of Duhart offering notes of tobacco leaf, graphite, cocoa and espresso. There is brightness here with lots of cherry fruit with scultpted, fine, sinewy tannin. Stony with a Pauillac gravelly focus it is a wine of freshness and energy, with a caressing and flowing feel to the finish.

Tasting notes

Fragrant and floral on the opening, with chalky tannins and a gorgeous lift through the palate, showing crayon, raspberry, cassis and cherry pit. There is a delicacy and finesse evident in this Duhart, very pretty, with a less powerful structure than the 2022 vintage. 3.77ph. 27hl/h yields. Rain in this part of Pauillac saw 80mm over Easter then nothing until 25mm on June 22, and 30mm end of July, so two very important moments to counter the heatwave. Then temperatures cooled until August 11-15 before spikes of real heat, 40+C, until the summer broke at the end of August with 55mm of rain, then another 60mm up until the harvest. Harvest started September 2, same as in 2022.
