Grassy, lemon yellow gold in the glass. A herbal and white stone fruited nose, ginger, flowers, apricot, melon, orange, lime and some green fruits. Bright and energising, lovely fresh acidity hits straight away - a sherbet-esque flavour but with a honeyed, toasted note too from the Semillon really giving different flavours and textures right now. Feels serious in the honeyed, waxy lemon, toast, buttery caramel but the acidity underneath is so great. A lovely potential for this. Ends chalky, flinty and clean, a gorgeous mineral grip. Succulent, fun, fresh, juicy and layered. I like this a lot. Interesting to see this project progress. (Drink between 2024-2032)

The 2021 Le Blanc de Duhart-Milon is a Sémillon-dominant blend produced from vines in the Anseilan sector that have been grafted over to white production. Unwinding in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of gooseberry, citrus zest and wheat toast, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and racy, with a satiny attack, chalky structuring extract and a mouthwateringly mordant finish. It's refreshing to see Sémillon accorded the respect it deserves. - WK

A blend of 80% Semillon, 17% Sauvignon, and the rest Sauvignon Gris, the 2021 Château Duhart-Milon Blanc has a bright, lively perfume of fresh lemon and melon fruits intermixed with subtle minty herb and salty mineral nuances. With medium-bodied richness, a fresh, focused, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish, it's an outstanding white that readers will love.

2021 Duhart Milon Blanc being the first vintage of this white wine from the famous 4th growth chateau, offers a fresh and well composed glass of wine, dominated by the fruit, white flowers, chalky notes and hay. For a white Pauillac it is surprisingly good and it will be interesting to follow this wine in succulent vintages. - Ivar Bjurner
