Château Clerc Milon 2023
The Château Clerc Milon 2023 from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux presents itself as an impressive testament to the high winemaking artistry of the estate. Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and 6.5% Cabernet Franc alongside small proportions of Carménère and Petit Verdot, the blend masterfully unites tradition and innovation.
In the glass, the wine displays a deep, intense purple-red with violet reflections that point to the high concentration and ripeness of the grapes. The bouquet unfolds with complex aromatics: fresh red and dark fruits such as cherries and blackcurrants merge with subtle notes of pencil shavings and fine oak, lending depth and elegance to the wine.
On the palate, the 2023 Clerc Milon is medium- to full-bodied with a dense, velvety texture. Sweet, ripe tannins and a balanced acid structure ensure a harmonious and persistent finish, while delicate notes of cocoa and noble spices round out the profile and underscore its pedigree.
While already approachable in its youth, the wine possesses tremendous ageing potential and will continue to gain complexity with bottle age. Château Clerc Milon 2023 is a textbook example of top-tier Médoc winemaking and an essential bottle for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
