{"product_id":"chateau-duhart-milon-2023","title":"Chateau Duhart Milon 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Duhart-Milon is a prestigious 4th Growth (\u003cem\u003eQuatrième Grand Cru Classé\u003c\/em\u003e) estate located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation. Situated directly adjacent to its legendary sister estate, Château Lafite Rothschild, Duhart-Milon shares the exact same elite winemaking and viticultural team managed by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistorically known for a stricter, firmer style, the estate has undergone significant modernization in recent years, including a state-of-the-art vat house completed in 2020. The 2023 release highlights this evolution, delivering classic Pauillac power and lead-pencil elegance with newfound precision and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Château Duhart-Milon 2023 presents a dense, dark ruby to inky-plum hue in the glass. The bouquet is classic Pauillac—cool, refined, and aromatic—opening with vibrant notes of blackcurrant, cassis, and dark plums interwoven with signature undertones of lead pencil graphite, cedar, cocoa powder, tobacco leaf, and subtle crushed mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, deeply layered, and structured with exceptional purity. A core of ripe dark fruits is framed by fine, chiseled, and saturated tannins that give the wine real backbone without heavy weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot (with an alcohol level around 13.1%), the fruit was harvested late between September 7 and October 3 and aged in French oak barrels (50% new) with 15% press wine added for structural resonance. Balanced by a vibrant acidity (pH 3.8), this highly focused vintage promises tremendous longevity and will benefit from cellaring through 2030 to 2050.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe firm graphite backbone, dark fruit core, and savory nuances of this classic Left Bank blend make it a natural match for rich, savory meats. It pairs magnificently with a roasted rack of lamb with garlic and herbs, dry-aged prime ribeye, or roasted venison tenderloin. It also pairs wonderfully with braised duck, wild mushroom and truffle dishes, or matured hard cheeses like 24-month Comté.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300799 - Boushelong Wine \u0026 Spirit International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44053497315415,"sku":"146271","price":164.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/DuhartMilon_37e7a6c2-febb-4ec4-b8be-4c79621d92ab.jpg?v=1784571686","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/chateau-duhart-milon-2023","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
