Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2023 Château Clerc Milon is gorgeous, with a salty, slightly bloody character to its red and black fruits, flowers, chalky minerality, and spicy, oak-like aromatics. These carry into a medium- to full-bodied, focused, elegant yet beautifully concentrated red with ripe tannins, beautiful overall balance, and outstanding length. Based on 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc, with the balance Carmenere and Petit Verdot, it’s aging in 55% new barrels and comes in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.83.

About the Producer

About the Producer

An 1855 Classified Growth, Château Clerc Milon is located in Pauillac, in the Médoc region. Bordering two First Classified Growths, it has 41 hectares (100 acres) of vines in a single sweep, mostly on the beautiful Mousset outcrop overlooking the Gironde estuary. The vineyard’s slopes and proximity to the estuary create a unique topography and microclimate. The sea breezes moderate temperature variations while the geological formation encourages natural drainage and optimises the vines’ exposure to the sun. The soil comprises deep, sandy gravel over a clay-limestone base which crops out in the eastern part of the estate.

The vineyard, with vines averaging 47 years, mostly comprises plots first planted in the early 20th century, offering a singular genetic heritage and rich biodiversity. It has five grape varieties typical of the region: Cabernet Sauvignon (54%), Merlot (34.5%), Cabernet Franc (9%), Carmenere (1.5%), including a parcel planted in 1948, and Petit Verdot (1%).

Château Clerc Milon is a beautifully balanced, elegant and precise wine with considerable ageing potential.
