Château Duhart-Milon is a historic estate located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. Established in the 18th century, the estate was revitalized under the ownership of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1962. Today, it is renowned for crafting elegant wines that showcase the essence of Pauillac. With its prime vineyard location adjacent to Château Lafite Rothschild, Duhart-Milon enjoys a prestigious reputation as one of the top-classified growths of the Médoc region.
The Pauillac region is synonymous with powerful and structured wines, thanks to its gravelly soils and temperate maritime climate. Nestled along the Gironde estuary, the area benefits from a natural drainage system and moderating influences that encourage balanced ripening. Pauillac’s rich history and commitment to excellence make it a cornerstone of Bordeaux winemaking, with Duhart-Milon exemplifying these traditions.
The terroir of Château Duhart-Milon is characterized by deep gravel soils layered over limestone subsoil, offering excellent drainage and heat retention. This composition is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, which dominates the estate’s plantings. The vines thrive in the mild maritime climate, producing fruit with concentrated flavors and robust tannins. Combined with meticulous vineyard management and traditional winemaking techniques, the unique terroir imparts structure, finesse, and longevity to Duhart-Milon’s wines.

Frequently Asked Questions
En Primeur, also known as "futures," is the opportunity to purchase wines while they are still aging in the producer’s cellar, before they are bottled and released to the public. Buying En Primeur allows you to secure highly sought-after wines at an early stage, often at a better value than post-release pricing.
Purchase: When you purchase En Primeur wines, you are paying only for the cost of the bottles at the time of ordering. Shipping charges, applicable tariffs, and taxes will be billed separately once the wines are ready for delivery to the United States.
Securing Your Wines: Once your order is placed, we immediately work to secure your allocation.
Updates and Confirmation: As the wines prepare for shipment to the U.S., typically around September or October following the vintage release, we will reach out to confirm your shipping information and provide an invoice for any outstanding shipping and tariff fees.
Shipping: After final payment is completed, we will ship your wines to you. Please note that wines will not be shipped until all outstanding balances are paid in full.
Because En Primeur purchases are secured specifically based on your order, cancellations are not permitted after the order is placed. If you have any concerns, please contact us at hello@heritagecellar.com, through the form on our website, or via chat - we're happy to help answer any questions before you complete your order.
While we strive to provide accurate timelines, delays can sometimes occur due to factors beyond our control, such as shipping logistics or regulatory changes. We will keep you updated throughout the process. In the rare event that a wine becomes unavailable, we will offer you the choice to wait, select a substitute of similar style and value, or receive a refund for the cost of the wine.
Shipping is not included in the initial purchase price. Once the wines are ready to ship, we’ll reach out to confirm your details and send a final invoice for any shipping and tariff charges. Nothing ships until all final balances are paid. Usually ships in the fall two (2) years following the vintage.
