Chateau Clerc Milon 2018, 5eme Grand Cru Classe Pauillac, France

Regular price £130.00

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.

2018 was a return to form for many estates across Bordeaux after the challenging 2017 vintage. Deep colour with a crimson hue. The ample and succulent nose opens on aromas of fresh berries such as blackcurrant, together with notes of violet. Spice and liquorice notes appear with airing, recalling the ripeness of the grapes, offset by touches of mint. The dense and opulent attack leads into a fresh and smooth mid-palate underpinned by generous, silky tannins, revealing pepper and dark chocolate notes that leave an overall impression of succulence and harmony.
