Bordeaux 2023 Chateau Duhart-Milon

2023 Chateau Duhart-Milon

Chateau Duhart-Milon is a Pauillac estate of serious pedigree. Made from a vineyard next door to Lafite Rothschild and under the same ownership, it’s part of Bordeaux royalty. The 2023 vintage has just been released and with some great scores from the critics, including Jane Anson who calls it “A buy”, it is well worth considering.

In recent years Duhart has emerged from its stablemate’s shadow and become a wine worth seeking out and buying. The 2023 is a lovely example. For Neal Martin, it is “Excellent” and has the “classic finish that could only come from this appellation.”Jane Anson says, “Has a ton of ageing potential, classical styled with precision, fully showcasing the enjoyment of 2023 in the right spots”.

A lovely wine, with impeccable pedigree. Details are below, do take a look and let us know if you would like a case or two of this secured:

The 2023 Duhart-Milon was picked September 7 to October 3 and contains 15% pressed wine, matured in 50% new oak. It has a much more backward bouquet than the Moulin, displaying well-defined yet tightly coiled graphite-infused black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins that belie the backbone of this Pauillac. That graphite element is accentuated in the mouth and controls the classic finish that could only come from this appellation. This is excellent, but patience is required.

95 points Jane Anson

Inky plum, far deeper in texture and intensity than the Moulin de Duhart (in contrast to 2022, when both 1st and 2nd wines were intensely coloured). Classical Duhart on the attack, reserved and a little subdued, then in comes the waves of cassis, liqourice root, spiced plum, ink, tobacco and cigar box. High Cabernet in the blend, and it suits the style and character of Duhart. Has a ton of ageing potential, classical styled with precision, fully showcasing the enjoyment of 2023 in the right spots. Around 65% first wine, 45hl/h yield, 15% of press wine. Harvest September 7 to October 3. A buy. (2024) www.janeanson.com
