Chateau Clerc Milon Description
Discover the extraordinary Chateau Clerc Milon, an exceptional vintage awarded the prestigious 5th Growth status in the 1855 classification. This elegantly crafted Bordeaux wine, part of the esteemed Mouton-Rothschild empire, captivates with its sumptuous blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Dressed in a striking crimson-hued garnet red, it offers a kaleidoscope of complex flavors that promise to elevate your wine experience. This wine, already charming in its youth, pairs beautifully with sumptuous meals, setting the gold standard for modern, high-quality Bordeaux wines.
The wine exudes an elegant and refined nose, initially greeting you with floral aromas that evolve to reveal notes of blackcurrant and licorice root. A full and smooth attack leads to a mid-palate supported by creamy, high-quality tannins, ending in a saline and slightly minty finish with chocolate undertones.
Complement the nuanced flavors of Chateau Clerc Milon with a succulent prime rib dinner. Its medium-weight, complex flavor profile also pairs superbly with roasted lamb, grilled vegetables, and rich cheese platters. Elevate your culinary experience with this exquisite Fifth-Growth wine.
Indulge in the unique charm of Chateau Clerc Milon—a wine that stands on its own while honoring its First Growth lineage.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
2016 Clerc Milon leaps from the glass with beautiful scents of chocolate-covered cherries, plum preserves and crushed blackcurrants with suggestions of lilacs, cardamom, underbrush and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of finely grained tannins and seamless freshness lifting the perfumed fruit to a nice long finish.
