位於波爾多Pauillac村的四級酒莊Chateau Duhart-Milon和Lafite是隔一條馬路的鄰居，在18世紀初這裡生產的酒是被當做Lafite的二軍酒，到了十九世紀初開始做出自己的名氣；在十九世紀中它已經是非常著名的酒莊，因此在1855年的頂級酒莊名單中得以被列為四級酒莊。1962年成為Lafite-Rothschild家族的產業，在近年來本酒莊的人氣日益增長，原因是其品質的長遠進步；隨著可觀的投資於更新提升葡萄園和釀造設備，本酒莊從1990年代後半水準顯著地大幅提升。
Duhart-Milon莊園位於名叫Milon的小丘上，土壤是排水性良好的礫石土，它的酒常被視為典型的Pauillac風格，平均來說Cabernet
Sauvignon的比例大約是70到80%，其餘是Merlot。它會在橡木桶(50
%新桶)中培養熟成14個月。Parker甚至大力稱讚說Rothschild家族近20年來的努力，已經將本酒莊的水準推升到幾近於超級明星的狀態。
WA:2025 - 2055
The 2019 Duhart-Milon is showing beautifully, mingling aromas of cassis and wild berries with notions of violets, cedar wood, orange rind, licorice and spice box in a perfumed bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's charming and refined, with a deep core of fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids. This château is going from strength to strength.
Duhart-Milon's vineyards are later-maturing than Lafite's, and the soils are less inherently balanced: the clay-rich parts of the vineyard are richer in clay than at Lafite, and the gravel-rich parts of the vineyard are richer in gravel—whereas Lafite's predominantly gravel soils sometimes contain more than 10% clay. That explains why Duhart-Milon historically often produced leaner wines than Lafite, with less mid-palate amplitude; but a warming climate and more attention to viticultural detail (sowing cover crops, for example, in clay-rich parts of the vineyard) are mitigating these disadvantages, and recent vintages have seen this estate attain new qualitative heights. The supple, perfumed, refined 2019 is a case in point. As at all the Domaines Barons de Rothschild properties, winemaking and élevage are very classical, with regular rackings and the majority of the barriques derived from the in-house cooperage (emphasizing lightly toasted Allier and Nevers oak seasoned for 24 months), and as at Lafite, Cabernet is very much in the ascendant (though only hitting 70% in 2019, as opposed to fully 94% at Lafite) here, and while pHs are elevated (fully 3.92 in 2019) alcohols remain moderate. Today, Duhart-Milon is producing beautiful wines that merit serious consideration.
