2024 Château Duhart Milon 4. Cru Classé

Robert Parker - 90-93

A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, the 2024 Duhart-Milon was cropped at 32 hectoliters per hectare, and it was here that the Lafite team concluded the harvest. Offering up aromas of cassis and red berries mingled with hints of violets, pen ink, licorice and toasty oak, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with a round, integrated, charming profile, concluding with a moderately persistent finish.

James Suckling - 93-94

A lighter vintage that highlights finesse rather than power or concentration. Fresh blue fruit with a medium body and fine-grained tannins. Fresh but supple in a refined, medium-long finish. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% merlot.

Vinous - 91-93

The 2024 Duhart-Milon opens with strong Cabernet Sauvignon inflections. Blue-toned fruit, lavender, spice and dried herbs open first, all framed by brisk acids and supporting tannins that lend shape. The 2024 includes 14% press wines, about the norm here. This is a very promising Duhart.

Decanter - 93

Dark fragrant black berries with milk chocolate accents. Smells rich and heady. Smooth and sappy, this has a nice texture straight away, fine tannins have a soft chalkiness with some bramble fruit underneath alongside subtle tobacco, dark chocolate and liquorice saltiness. Calm and collected, gentle but still with structure and a slow strength. Great mouth-watering acidity and fruit all the way through. A yield of 32hl/ha. 3.75pH. 14% press. No Moulin de Duhart being offered En Primeur.
