The Château Duhart Millon winery does not exist

1. The Château Duhart Millon winery does not exist

2. Bordooh, emphasis on oh. The Château Duhart Millon winery doesn't exist. What? Yes, but we'll get to that in a moment. First: Who is Château Duhart Million? Answer: the talented nephew. Duhart Million is the type who always arrives a little late at family celebrations because he always takes a little longer to put together his clothes - he just has a hard time deciding how to combine the unconventional with the elegant; the elegance that has long dominated the family. But he, who was born in 1962, is still a young Lackl in his head, even if he is no longer "the new on the block". When we attend these family celebrations, we always see Duhart Millon standing a little to the side and talking to other people; people who, like us, are surprised to discover that Duhart Millon has a lot to say. And likes to talk a lot. Only sometimes only a few people ask him. That's why we went to him at the last Domaine Rothschild family celebration and sat down at the table with him for a few hours and let him talk.

3. Duhart Millon told us that most people are quite surprised when they realise that it is a great wine from the Rothschild-Lafite family. And yet so inexpensive? "Yes, because I can," says Duhart Millon, "and because I have good people at my side who press me." Who is that? "It's very simple," says Duhart Millon, "my harvest from 66 hectares in Pauillac is pressed by the same people who press Lafite and Currades de Lafite. In a separate hall that belongs to me." "Oh, let's put it there, then they're in the best hands." "Yes," replies Duhart Millon, "I am fully integrated into the main family. And that's why I'm more of a Lafite family than a separate winery, an autonomous company." "Oh," we answer again. "But don't worry," says Duhart Millon, "because things couldn't have been better for me and my vineyards. If I can't decide between traditional and creative clothing, the Lafite family always knows which shirt, trousers, jacket and tie I should wear." Tie? "Well," says Duhart Millon, "I usually don't wear one anyway."

4. We think Duhart Millon is a good guy. And that's why we like to trade him so much - because the best of the Lafite family is always included in the juice. The vineyards are 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot and the juice is matured in around 50% new barrels, which makes the wine elegant on the one hand, but extremely "drinkable" on the other - in other words: you don't want to stop drinking it. If you want us to send the Duhart Million to your home, please let us know. We guarantee that this super laid-back guy can entertain you all evening without making himself too important. A first-class top wine that wants to be part of a good whole without making himself too important. Invite it to your home. And let it talk.

5. Thank You
