Château Duhart-Milon 1973

An old Pauillac: historic charm, Médoc structure and the patina of time

Terroir

Château Duhart-Milon, a Classified Growth of Pauillac, belongs to the great tradition of Médoc wines. Its vineyard lies on deep gravel soils particularly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, bringing structure, precision and the noble restraint typical of great Pauillac wines.

The 1973 vintage now belongs to the world of old collectible Bordeaux bottles. This bottle should be approached with the caution required by mature wines: its appeal lies as much in its age, origin and rarity as in its possible aromatic expression. For lovers of old Pauillac, it represents a historic witness to a Médoc classified growth.

Tasting notes

Nose:
Depending on the precise condition of the bottle, the bouquet may suggest notes of cedar, blond tobacco, old leather, undergrowth, autumn leaves, gentle spices and dried dark fruits. The expression belongs to a tertiary, discreet and evolved register.

Palate & Finish:
The palate may be fragile and patinated, with tannins fully softened by time. When preservation has been favourable, the finish offers the understated charm of old Pauillac wines, with cedar, tobacco, spice and Médoc nobility.
