Château Duhart Milon Pauillac 2011. The story goes that a privateer to Louis XV, Sieur Duhart, settled in Pauillac upon his retirement. The house that he lived in by the port inspired the label of Duhart-Milon – and still features proudly on it today. The wine produced here was classified as one of the ten ‘Fourth Growths’ in the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification – a ranking of Bordeaux’s most important wines by Napoleon III. The winery and its 100 hectares of vineyards, marshes, meadows and woodlands was later acquired by Domaines Barons de Lafite Rothschild in the 1960s and sits adjacent their vineyard, offering an excellent alternative for those looking for exceptional quality without the price tag. Red grapes thrive on the sandy gravel soils – this wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot – with hillsides shaped by the influences of the nearby Gironde estuary. Aromatic with red fruit, tobacco and spice notes, this is a Pauillac that’s elegant, fresh and finely structured. Pair it with red meat..
