The vintage
This vintage, which is less "sunny" and wetter than the 2020, has long remained uncertain. As with Château Duhart-Milon, which was able to take advantage of the best of both worlds, Le Blanc de Duhart-Milon Blanc will also have a great 2021 vintage. In this second year of production, our vines have been lucky enough to enjoy perfect conditions: after a remarkable spring and early summer, the grapes matured quietly during the beautiful dry and temperate period from 15 August to 15 September. At the beginning of September, the aromas exploded but the acidity remained excellent. We have the luxury of taking the time to harvest in three batches, one week apart. Under the press we already know: we have our first great vintage of Le Blanc de Duhart-Milon!

Tasting
Intense citrus and apricot aromas. Notes of pastry and toast underline a mineral ensemble.
The attack is lively and fatty, the palate has a good length, ending with an elegant aromatic return of white peach.
