Heritage in the vineyard

Domaine

Château Duhart-Milon, located adjacent to Château Lafite Rothschild, was acquired by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1962. Legend has it that « Sieur Duhart, » a corsair under Louis XV, settled in Pauillac after retiring, the wine label may have been inspired by his heritage. Initially serving as supplementary income for the « Lord of Lafite, » Duhart-Milon gained recognition for its quality terroir and was elevated to Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification.
