Description
Situated a stone's throw from legendary Châteaux Lafite and Mouton-Rothschild, the 12 hectare Château Haut-Milon offers a taste of this world-famous terroir on exquisite vintage form - without costing the earth. Classic Pauillac flavours of tobacco and cassis with a gorgeous supple texture and savoury length.
Haut Millon 2005 is a premium, 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The oldest vines are 65 - 80 years old adding impressive concentration to the flavours. The wine was then aged in new French barriques for nine months contributing rich, toasty oak flavours.
The estate has been owned by the Breuil family for the last 150 years. As well as managing vineyards and making wine, they spend a lot of time rebutting enquiries from more prestigious chateaux and families who would like to buy their land!
