Château Duhart-Milon Rothschild has been owned by the Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1962. The estate is a Fourth Growth of the Pauillac appellation, and it includes 185 acres. When the famous Rothschild family bought the estate the vineyards were in poor shape, making it necessary to replant. Therefore the vines are somewhat young for a classified estate. Nevertheless for several decades the wines have, according to Robert M. Parker Jr., been “very good and occasionally outstanding. The style veers toward the balanced elegance and finesse school of winemaking exemplified by the estate’s bigger sister, Lafite Rothschild.” The vineyards are 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. About 280,000 bottles are produced annually.
