Château Duhart-Milon wine dinner on November 13, 2025
Celebrate the legacy of Château Duhart-Milon, a distinguished Fourth Growth Pauillac estate transformed under Rothschild ownership since 1962 into one of the Left Bank’s most respected properties.
Chef Uwe Opocensky’s creativity brings out the nuance of each selected vintage. The rare Le Blanc de Duhart-Milon 2023, a 100% Sauvignon Blanc, dances with Japanese oysters, one bright with citrus, another perfumed with herbal gin and tonic cucumber. Pigeon Hugenin with cabbage and chocolate finds a surprising match in the 2011 and 2010 vintages, while charcoal-grilled wagyu lasagna skewers bring out the subtle elegance of the 2007.
A family member of Château Duhart-Milon will personally present the wines, including the newly released Le Blanc 2023 and the highly sought-after 2010 vintage.

Homemade veal sausages with cabbage and red wine jus perfectly complement the 2016, while whole grilled, smoked, and steamed turbot takes centre stage with the legendary 2004 vintage.
