19 Rene Gabriel
50 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 44 % Merlot, 4 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot, 1 % Carmenere. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Rahmiges Bouquet, Heidelbeeren, Black Currant, schön füllig mit einem Hauch Lakritze und dunklem Caramel im Hintergrund. Noch selten war ein Clerc Milon so cremig und so fett wie dieser opulente 2009er. Die Form des Körpers erinnert exakt an die ersten Proben von vielen, grossen 82er-Pauillacs. Ein "Immerschön" und "Langeschön". Und gleichzeitig der beste Clerc Milon seiner Geschichte. Vier Mal verkostet. Das Niveau ist genial<br/><br/>warten (2016 - 2038)

Juicy and nicely framed with a singed bay leaf note, which allows the medium-weight core of crushed plum and mulled fig to glide along nicely through the velvety finish. This fleshes out considerably as it sits in the glass, showing more layers of dark fruit and lingering minerality. This has some power in reserve, but lovely balance as well. Best from 2013 through 2024. –JM

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Clerc Milon gives up notes of blueberry compote, blackcurrant preserves and prunes with hints of fried herbs, fertile loam and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, firm and taut with a grainy texture and seamless freshness, it has a good core of earth-laced black fruit and an understated finish.
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.
