£175.00

Chateau Clerc Milon is a Fifth Growth estate located in Pauillac in Bordeaux. It was acquired by the owner of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, in 1970. Baron Philippe saw the potential in Clerc Milon and its 40 hectare estate. After many modern advancements and improvements since made to the winery and vineyard, Chateau Clerc Milon is a force to be reckoned with and one of the leading estates in Bordeaux.

There is no doubt that 2009 was one of the best vintages this side of the millennium. Deep red with violet hints, the wine opens up with notes of ripe black fruit, dark chocolate, orange blossom, cedar, smoke and hints of tar. The palate is big and bold intertwined with the elegance you would expect from Grand Cru Pauillac. Exceptional tannin and acidity structure means this is a wine that will age for decades.
