Critics reviews
The 2024 Le Blanc du Duhart is a very pretty Sémillon-driven white. Orchard fruit, slate, mint, chalk and white pepper lend a good deal of energy throughout. The 2024 is open-knit and quite gracious in style. I imagine the Blanc will become an even more complex and serious wine as the team gains experience with making white wine in the Médoc.
The 2024 Le Blanc de Duhart-Milon, which debuted with the 2021 vintage, comes from 1.5 hectares of regrafted vines plus new plantings toward the east of Lafite-Rothschild on clay-limestone soils. Half of the malolactic conversion was done in barrel to gain volume with a low pH. At the moment, it aged in 50% used and 50% new barrels, although Eric Kohler mentioned that stainless steel may come online in the future. It has a clean and precise bouquet, with Anjou pear commingling with lime, nettle and hints of peach skin emerging with time. The palate is fresh and tensile, more than any previous vintages. This is not long, yet it is armed with plenty of energy. The limestone is more exposed in this vintage and I am intrigued to see how this ages in bottle.
