2013 Chateau Clerc Milon

93 POINTS

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

This is a structured wine, firm with tannins and still showing some of the wood-aging. Red-berry fruits are cut with crisper blueberries and considerable acidity. This is going to be a firm wine that is lightened by the fruit, and a very good representative of the vintage. Drink from 2020.

91–93. Barrel Sample. The Cabernet Sauvignon shows dominance here with ripe, juicy black current notes which cut through this wine's dry tannic structure. The wine has power and a future that will be medium-term.

Steven Spurrier - Decanter

Deep colour and firm fruit both on nose and palate, good structure and weight and fine vineyard character, good future.

Pleasant red with black currants, blueberries and hints of currant leaf. Medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. Drink and enjoy.

James Suckling

A firm and silky red with currant, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body, integrated and delicious. Pretty sweetness of fruit on the finish.

Wine Spectator

The juicy core of plum and blackberry fruit provides an inviting profile, while light iron and tobacco notes hang in the background. Maintains a juicy edge through the bramble-tinged finish. A smart buy in this vintage.

James Suckling

This is a delicious, lighter Clerc with currant, blackberry and mineral character. Medium body with good density and a good, fresh finish. 58% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 12% cabernet franc, 2% petit verdot and 1% carménère. Points: 89-90
