Chateau Clerc Milon ‘Pastourelle De Clerc Milon’, Pauillac 2012

Merlot: 65 %
Cabernet Sauvignon: 21%
Cabernet Franc: 14%

A legendary terroir, prestigious neighbours, a providential encounter: the history and the success of Château Clerc Milon are summed up in these three words. The terroir is that of Pauillac, where some of the world’s finest wines are made. The neighbours are Mouton and Lafite, illustrious First Growths whose nearby vines can be seen from the terrace of the Château. The encounter was with Baron Philippe, who in 1970 acquired the then badly neglected estate and decided to restore it to its status as a Classified Growth.

The wine has a reddish purple colour with a deeper violet tint.
Concentration on the nose is revealed with great refinement and complexity. Black cherry and vanilla aromas give way to deeper, smoky, peaty notes along with blond tobacco and dried flowers.
