1975 Château Duhart-Milon – A Classic, Age-Worthy Pauillac
From the heart of Pauillac, the 1975 Château Duhart-Milon is a remarkable example of Fourth Growth Bordeaux from a vintage known for its structure and longevity. The 1975 growing season was warm and dry, producing firm, tannic wines with excellent aging potential. Now, after nearly 50 years of maturity, this wine offers a rare opportunity to experience a well-preserved piece of Bordeaux history.
With time, the 1975 Duhart-Milon has evolved into a wine of depth and complexity. Initial earthy tones and a subtle “funk” on the nose can transform with proper decanting, revealing layers of black fruit, tobacco, and Pauillac’s signature cedar and spice notes. The tannins have softened, creating a balanced and refined palate that still retains impressive structure and a lingering finish.
Best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F), this vintage pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck, and aged cheeses. Decanting for at least 2 hours is recommended to allow the wine’s aromas to fully develop. A true collector’s piece, the 1975 Château Duhart-Milon is an elegant and rewarding choice for those who appreciate classic, aged Bordeaux. Secure your bottle today and enjoy a rare taste of Pauillac’s rich history.
