Description
Duhart-Milon is a Pauillac Fourth Growth with the same owners as Château Lafite Rothschild, and its red wine is the one most people know. This 2021 is the estate's white, and has a couple more years in bottle than the 2023.
Five years on, a Bordeaux white is no longer a baby and has begun to broaden. Lobster in butter, pan-fried sea bass or a mild goat cheese come across well beside it. Serve at about 52 F, a bit warmer than a simple white, so the body shows.
Questions about Château Duhart-Milon Blanc 2021
- Who owns Château Duhart-Milon?
- Domaines Barons de Rothschild, the owners of Château Lafite Rothschild, bought Duhart-Milon in the 1960s. It is a Fourth Growth in Pauillac, and the family has improved the vineyards steadily since.
- What kind of wine is Bordeaux blanc?
- It is a white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with Muscadelle in small amounts. Sauvignon Blanc gives lemon and herb notes, while Sémillon adds body and wax.
- Is Duhart-Milon Blanc a Pauillac wine?
- Not officially. Pauillac only allows red wine, so the white from Duhart-Milon is labeled Bordeaux. It comes from the same Rothschild-owned estate as the famous Pauillac red.
