Chateau Clerc Milon Pauillac GCC 2021, 75cl

Chateau Clerc Milon is based in a unique location and covers 41 hectares (100 acres) in a single sweep. Most of the vineyard was planted in the early 20th century thus has one of the oldest plots of Carmenere in the Bordeaux vineyard. The natural landscape of the vineyard has been shaped over time to form a terrace of gravel and sand and pebbles resting on a clay-limestone base creating the perfect growing conditions for all the traditional grape varieties. 

Tasting Notes: 

“This is one of the few that has really grown into itself in the bottle, taking the next step that not many have achieved over ageing. Bitter chocolate, cocoa bean, liquorice, pencil lead, crayon, then with a whisper of cassis and violet, this is channeling a very strong Pauillac character, leaning into the appellation, definitely one to look out for.” - Score 94 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, January 2024

Serving Suggestions:

Pairs well with seafood, steak dishes and grilled dishes.
