2nd Wine of Fifth Classified Growth, Château Clerc-Milon

Discreet and elegant nose which opens up with airing to reveal succulent aromas of brandied morello cherries mingled with peppery, minty notes. From a substantial and powerful attack, the mid-palate reveals a close-knit, creamy texture set off by well-integrated, structured tannins. The succulence hinted at on the nose is expressed in black fruit and mocha notes, leading into an opulent finish which underlines the wine’s complexity.

"Blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors with light walnut and bark character. Full-bodied, juicy and savory with a focused, firm wall of tannins. Needs two or three years of bottle age. Second wine of Clerc Milon. Try in 2023."

The vineyard is in a unique location. Bordering two First Classified Growths, it covers 41 hectares (100 acres) in a single sweep, much of it on the beautiful Mousset outcrop overlooking the Gironde estuary.



Most of the vineyard was planted in the early 20th century. Château Clerc Milon also has one of the oldest plots of Carmenere in the Bordeaux vineyard, planted in 1947. Further preservation of this resource and heritage has now been ensured by an in-house nursery created within Baron Philippe Rothschild SA.
