93 Robert Parker
A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Clerc Milon opens with expressive crushed blackberries, red and black plums and cigar boxes notions with suggestions of dried herbs, earth and violets plus a waft of dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, fine, fresh and elegant, it has a lovely core of very pure red and black fruits, supported by finely textured tannins and finishing on a lingering perfumed note. This is a very pretty, superbly poised Pauillac!

Offers a rounded, juicy feel, with cherry and black currant fruit moving along, backed by sweet tobacco notes and a flicker of anise. Pure and fresh.—J.M.

51 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 34 % Merlot, 13 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot, 1 % Carmenère. Also ist das einer der ganz wenigen Fünfrebsortenblends im Bordelais. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Das Nasenbild zeigt einen mittleren Druck, recht viel blaubeerige Frucht aber auch florale Züge aufweisend, das Ganze ist mit einer schönen Cabernetwürze versehen. Im Gaumen feinfleischig, stützende Adstringenz, dezent kernige Noten im Extrakt zeigend, angenehmes Finale. Kann noch zulegen. Diesmal hat mir der d'Armailhac aus dem gleichen Haus - zumindest in der Primeurphase - besser gefallen. 17/20 2024 – 2042
Producer
Château Clerc Milon
Assuming her father’s role, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild took over the then small village house in Pauillac until her passing in 2014, transforming the property into the glorious Château Clerc Milon that we know of today. The late Baroness Philippine headed grand innovations during her leadership. In 2007, the new gravity-feed vat room was constructed, while in 2011, they built a cellar, a half-underground barrel hall, a reception area and several tasting rooms. With its status as a Classified Growth restored, after the famous 1855 Classification, their wines are well-rounded and surprisingly approachable for Pauillac. Their 40-hectare property should not to be overshadowed by its neighbor and otherwise sister château, Château Mouton Rothschild. They continually produce quality blends with present Merlot – showing ripe and plummy components that are more than unique to Château Clerc Milon.
