Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page. The shares published by the estate already total 100% even though it lists other grape varieties: for lack of a consistent breakdown, none are shown here.

Footprint, parcels and their split are measured on the Compagnie Médocaine’s own parcel survey; elevation, slope and aspect on the Mapbox terrain-rgb digital terrain model, derived from IGN’s RGE ALTI over France. Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.

The grand vin of Château Duhart-Milon is often described as a pared-back classic of the Pauillac appellation; it shows a restrained distinction, all in finesse.

Strict control of yields, hand harvesting and a great deal of work carried out by hand throughout the year.
