Chateau Duhart-Milon (Futures Pre-Sale) 2023

He rides a Harley, but deep down, his heart (of clay) is tender, his trajectory perfectly defined and his loyalty unwavering. Right from the berry tastings, Duhart astonished us with its ability to absorb the ups and downs of 2023, and particularly at the end of the vintage, our grapes perfectly resisting two successive heatwaves at the end of August and beginning of September. This is proof that our vineyards are now reaching maturity, and that the replanting undertaken since 2016 on our finest terroirs is finally bearing fruit. The grapes from these younger plots are already making their way into the grand vin. In the cellar, extractions go smoothly and quickly to reveal an unexpected density, without any effort. Their biker hits the road: on the horizon, a long straight line, and freedom.

Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot
