Clerc Milon 5 ème Grand Cru Classé Pauillac, 2022

Château Clerc Milon 2022 is a polished Pauillac from one of Bordeaux’s most respected classified growths, offering the depth, structure, and finesse collectors look for in a fifth growth. Owned by the Rothschild family, it combines classic Left Bank power with a more refined, modern touch that has made it one of the appellation’s most admired names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2022 Pauillac typically shows a deep ruby-purple color with a youthful, vibrant edge. The nose is expected to open with blackcurrant, blackberry, graphite, cedar, violets, and subtle spice, all framed by the savory, earthy character that defines top Bordeaux. The palate should be full-bodied and precise, with firm but ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a layered core of dark fruit, tobacco leaf, pencil shavings, and toasted oak. While approachable in youth with proper aeration, it has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for 15–25 years or more, developing greater complexity over time.

Production
Clerc Milon comes from Pauillac, where gravelly soils and proximity to the Gironde help create excellent drainage and ideal ripening conditions for Bordeaux varieties. The estate is known for careful vineyard management and selective harvesting, ensuring that only fully ripe fruit is brought in. Vinification is carried out with a focus on precision and balance, typically involving parcel-by-parcel fermentation and maturation in oak barrels to shape texture and complexity. The result is a wine that reflects both the power of Pauillac terroir and the elegance associated with the modern style of the property.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast lamb, entrecôte, beef Wellington, duck breast, and game dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if opening young to allow the wine to unwind and show its full aromatic depth.
