Tasting Notes
95 points by James Suckling Apr/23
A beautiful wine with depth of fruit and intense tannins, yet full of energy and focus.
95 points by Wine Enthusiast Nov/23
Powerful and structured, the wine has weight as well as ripe tannins. As always in this vintage, the wine's acidity keeps everything fresh and bright enough to lift the wine's fine fruit.""
The freshness of liquorice and mineral notes is in perfect balance with the controlled power provided by silky, well-integrated tannins, revealing all the elegance and precision of this very fine wine. Black fruit flavours coupled with notes of cocoa powder linger long on the finish.
Château Clerc Milon, a prestigious estate in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, is renowned for its exceptional wines. The vineyard is planted on gravel and clay limestone soils, benefiting from the unique terroir of the region. The 2022 vintage experienced mild and dry weather with abundant sunshine, allowing the grapes to ripen steadily in ideal conditions. The meticulous winemaking process includes aging in French oak barrels for 18 months, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth and complexity.
