Château Clerc Milon, classified a fifth growth in 1855, consists of 75 acres of vines, planted with the typical varieties of the region: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Adjoining two Pauillac first growths, Lafite and Mouton, the estate had become somewhat neglected when it was bought by Baron Philippe in 1970. Vines were replanted by staff from Château Mouton Rothschild, parcels were consolidated and many technical improvements were made, including the building of a new vat room. These efforts are now bearing fruit and Château Clerc Milon has become one of the most sought-after Médoc wines, displaying a richness and depth comparable to the region's finest.
