Château Clerc Milon 2025

Cool cassis fruit, a cold fireplace note, subtle cedarwood, blackberries; on the palate focused and vertical, with polished tannins and an incredibly crunchy fruit, saline—like licking a stone—balanced, elegant and with very good length. A Pauillac full of finesse that will be enjoyable early on yet can age well.

Raspberries and red cherries on the nose with some rose petal aromas. Juicy and alive, great energy and brightness straight away, so generous, plump, a little darker on the palate with some dark chocolate, liquorice, blackcurrant and hints of cedar and bitterness. But equally the acidity is pronounced giving this real lift. Energetic with a mineral edged acidity. Dynamic and vibrant, great tannic frame, lively and so compelling. 1% Carmenere and 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend.

Black cherries, flowers, blackberries, spice box, currants, and tobacco wrappers form the nose. The medium-bodied, elegantly textured palate continues along that line with its vivid display of red cherries, strawberry, licorice, blackberries, espresso, and leafy herbs, leaving you with a touch of crushed rocks and herbs in the finish. Picking took place September 3 - September 19. The wine blends 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, and 1% Carmenere. 13.1% ABV, 3.78 pH.

Aged in 55% new oak for Clerc Milon 2025. The élevage is clearly apparent, but it isn’t the core of the wine’s message; it does exactly what you expect from it: it supports the aromatic ensemble and lets the details shine. Graphite nuances are followed by toasted-bread notes, then floral touches. Everything is perfectly in place—no excess, but plenty of precision—with an overall performance that champions aromatic harmony. On the palate, restraint is the order of the day. You can tell the extraction was measured and controlled, and that the climate favored the fine grain of the tannins. These provide, in equal measure, both finesse and power. A linear wine, broad, powerful and vibrant. A concentrated burst of energy with finesse, character and persistence. A contemporary, serene Clerc Milon with a dazzling, shimmering finish that makes you want to go back for more!

Deep crimson-purple color with black glints. An intense, refined, fruity nose, noble and distinguished. Notes of raspberry, vanilla and smoke emerge with a swirl of the glass. Deliciously fleshy on the attack, with immediate brightness on the palate; the wine melts across the palate, juicy and highly aromatic. A sapid, fragrant finish, with a more enveloping tannic structure than ever. A lovely, full and steady progression all along the palate.
