Clerc Milon produces a charming style of Pauillac. In the best vintages, this classically styled Bordeaux wine offers ample concentration of currants, blackberry and spice. This property has recently undergone major renovations in the cellars and in the vineyards. Management has changed as well. The estate is managed by Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy. 2009 and 2010 are the finest young vintages of Clerc Milon I’ve ever tasted. Read more...
Clerc-Milon’s 2005 has moved ahead of its stablemate, d’Armailhac. A blend of nearly equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon (48%) and Merlot (40%), and the rest Cabernet Franc, it exhibits plenty of charcoal, roasted coffee, smoke, blackberry, and cassis notes along with a meaty-like character to its flavors and texture. Full-bodied with surprisingly high tannin as well as gorgeous depth and a multidimensional mouthfeel, this stunning Pauillac should be at its finest between 2014-2030. #176Apr 2008
