Clerc Milon 2021 3000ml

Clerc Milon, a legendary terroir, two prestigious neighbours and a providential encounter The history and the success of Château Clerc Milon, 1855 Grand Cru Classé,  are summed up in these three words. The terroir is that of Pauillac, where some of the world’s finest wines are made. Its 41-hectare vineyard is located on the hillside of Mousset, overlooking the Gironde River, and thus benefits from an ideal microclimate. Its soil is made up of deep sandy gravel on a clay-limestone subsoil which outcrops on the eastern part of the estate. The neighbours are Mouton Rothschild and Lafite Rothschild, 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 this badly neglected estate and decided to restore it to its status as a Classified Growth. Now, thanks to Baroness Philippine, Clerc Milon, one of the most highly regarded châteaux in the Bordeaux region, can boast technical facilities and reception areas worthy of its reputation. 2021 vintage - Tasting notes The team presents this vintage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfmsLHUL5pc The wine is a deep, garnet-hued red. The distinguished and elegant nose expresses cherry, blackcurrant and liquorice aromas mingled with floral notes of violet. The rich and powerful attack reveals a precise and elegant tannic structure on the mid-palate. Refined touches of pepper and cedarwood round off a radiant array of flavours. The beautifully balanced finish lingers long on the palate, heralding excellent ageing potential.
