Description
The 2014 Clerc Milon is more backward on the nose compared to the d'Armailhac: quite sumptuous in style with black fruit, dark plum, vanilla and a pungent violet scent. The palate is wonderful: a fabulous line of acidity, tensile and focused, mineral and intense with blackberry, citrus fruit, bilberry and cedar towards the elegant, yet intense finish. There is something almost Lafite-like about this Clerc-Milon and in my book, there is nothing wrong with that.

The 2019 Chateau Clerc-Milon, a distinguished wine from Pauillac, France, is a testament to the region's exceptional terroir. This vintage presents a deep garnet hue, with a bouquet that elegantly unfolds from floral notes to blackcurrant and a hint of liquorice root. The palate is greeted with a full and smooth attack, revealing a complex interplay of ripe fruit, toasted cereals, and delicate violet. The wine's structure is supported by high-quality, creamy tannins, leading to a saline and slightly minty finish that lingers with chocolate nuances. With its rich color and promising structure, this wine is a true reflection of the generosity of the 2019 vintage.
