  • Description

    The 1967 Château Duhart-Milon is a well-aged Fourth Growth Pauillac, originating from a challenging vintage. The 1967 Bordeaux growing season was cool and damp, leading to wines that were lighter and intended for early consumption. Now, nearly six decades later, this wine remains a historical curiosity, with its condition highly dependent on storage.

    Tasting notes suggest the aromas have evolved, displaying subtle tobacco, smoke, dried fruit, and blackcurrant. On the palate, it is described as elegant and mellow, with hints of sour plum and blackcurrant, though its structure has likely softened significantly. Well-preserved bottles may still provide a delicate and balanced experience, but this vintage is generally past its peak.

    Best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F), this wine should be gently decanted to separate sediment and avoid overexposure to air. Lighter food pairings, such as soft cheeses or roasted poultry, will complement its subtle profile. While not a long-lived Bordeaux vintage, the 1967 Château Duhart-Milon offers a rare chance to taste an aged Pauillac and appreciate the resilience of Bordeaux winemaking.
