Château Clerc Milon Pastourelle de Clerc Milon Pauillac 2022

Please note these are half bottles or 375 ML. The Clerc Milon vineyard is planted with five varieties typical of the region: Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (37%), Cabernet Franc (10%), Petit Verdot (2%) and Carmenere (1%). The average age of the vines is 53 years, probably one of the highest in the Medoc. Mostly planted before the development of clonal selection, they represent an exceptionally rich genetic resource. The vine density is high, ranging between 8, 500 and 10, 000 vines per hectare depending on the parcel. Environment-friendly integrated vinegrowing techniques are employed, keeping the use of pesticides to a minimum. In the vineyard itself, the close monitoring and strict parcel selection are on a par with those practiced at Mouton Rothschild, the crown jewel of this Rothschild stable.   

Radiant and balanced, Pastourelle de Clerc Milon 2022 releases a beautifully aromatic bouquet on wild bilberry and licorice notes. Precision, freshness and opulence play off each other, building a delightful harmony underpinned by elegant, refined tannins. The impression of balance, heightened by notes of black fruit and pepper, lingers long.
