Chateau Duhart Milon 2016, Pauillac 750ml

The "Milon" in the name of the winery is quoted from a small village of the same name, located in the northwest of the Pauillac appellation area, not far from the winery's vineyards.

Like many famous chateaus, Château Duhart-Milon was dilapidated in the two world wars. The vineyards were deserted and even overgrown with weeds until they were bought by the neighboring Château Lafite-Rothschild (first-class winery) in 1962.

Château Lafite-Rothschild has carried out a thorough cleaning of the vineyards, renovated the wine cellar, purchased advanced fermentation equipment and reinstalled the drainage system. With the purchase of new plots and the active implementation of the replanting plan, the area of ​​the vineyard has become significant The improvement.

Nowadays, under the strict management of Château Lafite-Rothschild and the "blessing" of the halo, it has become famous and has received many praises.
