Chateau Clerc Milon Pauillac 2017 750ml

Showcases a garnet-red colour that is extremely thick and bright. The fragrant profile on the nose highlights the fruit’s freshness while displaying the vintage’s solar character. Black fruit (blackberries) flavours from the first nose’s opening are interspersed with notes from the barrel that are somewhat toasted. Noble mineral scents emerge as the wine is swirled. This olfactory palette includes sophisticated notes that evoke the fineness of graphite and the smell of gunflint before concluding with notes of mouthwatering cocoa. Gourmet cherry pit scents are revealed in the olfactory development, which afterwards transform into bitter chocolate undertones.

On the Left Bank of Bordeaux, there is a property called Château Clerc Milon, which currently ensures high quality in the Pauillac appellation. Château Clerc Milon, a Grand Cru Classé in the official classification of 1855, has established itself as a benchmark and one of the most sought-after wines in the Bordeaux wine market over the years.

With a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Carmenère, Château Clerc Milon 2017 once again achieves an excellent quality. Despite producing fewer bottles than usual, the 2017 vintage of Château Clerc Milon looks to be rather promising. Despite the April 27th frost, which blanketed the whole Bordeaux area, Château Clerc Milon was able to maintain the quality of its fruit thanks to May’s high temperatures, which accelerated the vines’ vegetative cycle. Following a wet June, the warm summer temperatures and severe dryness produced little berries with intensely colored and sweet flavors. 2017 saw an early harvest. They began on September 13 and continued with Carménère at Château Clerc Milon until September 29.
