Château Duhart-Milon is the only château in Pauillac ranked as a 4th Growth in the 1855 Classification. In the early 18th century the wines of Milon served as the second wine for its already illustrious neighbor: Château Lafite. During the second half of the 19th and first part of the 20th centuries, Duhart-Milon was one of the largest estates in Pauillac, consisting of 50 hectares of vines. After the 1930's, the estate was sold, and in a period of 25 years had five different owners, until the Rothschild family purchased the property in 1962. Since that time, the family has undertaken a massive overhaul of the vineyards and the cellar, restoring Duhart-Milon as one of the best estates in Pauillac. Duhart-Milon is also one of the few classified growths not to have an actual château. 

The vineyard of Château Duhart-Milon consist of mainly a single block of vines on the west side of Château Lafite, on the Milon hillside, consisting of gravel mixed with aeolian sand on limestone subsoil. The 76 hectares of vines are planted to 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot. Each plot of vines is fermented separately to judge its quality and determine whether or not it is to be included in the Grand Vin. Each vintage is aged in oak barrels that are made at the domain's cooperage. The wines are wonderfully concentrated with excellent depth of flavor and aging potential.
