Duhart-Milon Pauillac 2022
96 Points! The tension here comes from chalky tannins and lovely tobacco, herbs, cedar and cigar-box character. Currants and blue fruits. It's medium-bodied with lovely fruit and light-citrus bitterness. Firm and intense with an excellent finish. One of the best Duharts I have tasted. - JamesSuckling.com
97 Points! The 2022 Château Duhart-Milon is all finesse and elegance, offering cassis, black raspberry, spring flowers, spicy wood, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, it’s incredibly pure, layered, and seamless, with utter class from start to finish. You can safely drink bottles anytime over the coming 30 years. - Jeb Dunnuck
2022 will be remembered as a vintage of excess: too hot, too dry, too everything. The weather this year was like a fiery poet, one who gets carried away, who goes too far, but who miraculously makes it work. The lack of water pushed the vines to their limits and made them move mountains.
He is the rebellious uncle who left home at an early age to explore the world. This year, we did not recognise our Duhart-Milon at first sight.
At the end of the harvest, there was so much great Cabernet everywhere! During the blending tastings, the teams were taken aback. The large plots did not seem the same: they had a depth no previously seen, a richness of a Cabernet that cannot be placed on a map.
This year, the teams at Duhart-Milon changed their technique for selecting press wine with the aim of making an even better selection of these wines that are so important in the blend.
