2012 Château Clerc Milon
2012 Château Clerc Milon showcases Pauillac’s classical elegance in a vintage that required meticulous care. Gravelly soils ensured excellent drainage during the rainy spring, resulting in fruit with vibrant purity. Cassis, graphite, and dried herbs lead into a medium-bodied palate of ripe black fruit, tobacco, and savory spice, finishing with polished tannins and a refined minerality.

Fifth Growths (Cinquèmes Crus)
Château Clerc Milon
Château Clerc Milon, classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, has a storied past marked by various ownerships. In 1970, Baron Philippe de Rothschild acquired the estate, integrating it into the family's prestigious portfolio and initiating extensive renovations to elevate its status.
Situated in the Pauillac appellation, Château Clerc Milon is nestled between two First Growths, Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Lafite Rothschild. The region's climate, moderated by the nearby Gironde estuary, provides ideal conditions for viticulture, particularly for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
The estate's 41-hectare vineyard is planted on deep gravel soils, characteristic of Pauillac's esteemed terroir. This composition facilitates excellent drainage and contributes to the production of wines with depth, concentration, and aging potential, reflecting the unique attributes of their origin.
