Château Duhart-Milon’s second wine, is selected from vats of the "Grand Vin". In general, the grapes are from the youngest part of the vineyard. Moulin de Duhart has several characteristics similar to the fine wine, but with a lesser potential for ageing as its ageing in barrels is much shorter. It must be consumed younger than its more robust counterpart.
The origin of the name comes from the former presence of a windmill on the Carruades, next to the Duhart-Milon vineyard.
