Just released by DBR (Lafite Rothschild), the 3rd vintage of the very limited production of its White Wine, made from the great terroir of Ch. Duhart Milon. 7,200 bottles produced on this vintage 2023. This small Cuvée is a blink to the past, since white wines used to be produced in the vineyeard back to 1920s. The Semillon & Sauvignon have been grafted on 20 years old feets of merlot – planted on limestone soil.

Sémillon : 63% - Sauvignon blanc : 37%
Tasting note
The color is pale gold with reflections of deep yellow. The nose, still closed at first, initially exudes acacia flowers, then citrus, a bouquet delicately supported by elegant toasty notes. Hints of gunflint add a touch of minerality to the overall profile. From the first sip, a striking freshness takes over before the wine gains body and density, gradually revealing all its richness. The mouthfeel is round and long. The aromas of lychee, grapefruit, and white peach highlight a subtle oakiness. The finish reveals delicate bitter notes.

2023 is overall a historically warm year. However, the cool mid-summer period, followed by two heatwaves late August and early September, allowed for a smooth and stress-free ripening of a generous harvest. Patience was required, with up to four passes through the parcels to select, from slightly thinned vines, the most golden and aromatic clusters. The first Sauvignons were harvested as early as August 29 and the successive selections of Semillon were spread out, crossing the first bunches of Merlot arriving into the cellar. A meticulous effort, reflecting in the tastings, where the aromatics of the different lots combined beautifully, from the initial pressings to the final blends.
