As the story goes, "Sieur Duhart" was a corsair who settled in Pauillac. His house inspired the wine's label.[1] During the XVIIth century, under the management of the House of Ségur [fr], the vineyard was used for Château Lafite's second wine. During the 1830s, the land was purchased by the Castéja family. A 110-acre vineyard was created and later renamed Château Duhart-Milon. The Castéja family sold Duhart-Milon in 1937, and five owners managed the château in the following twenty-five years. Château Duhart-Milon was acquired by Domaines Barons de Rothschild in 1962.[2]
