Chateau Clerc Milon 2016 Pauillac

The 2016 Clerc Milon is striking. Here. the interplay of dense fruit and supporting structure make for a wonderfully complete and expressive wine. Dark blue stone fruit. licorice. lavender. spice and menthol are all beautifully delineated in the glass. The aromatic and structure of both Cabernets come through with notable energy and precision. The 2016 has enough density and pedigree to drink well for many years to come.

The Cabernet Franc was fantastic this year. so it was all used in the grand vin. The final blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon. 29% Merlot. 13% Cabernet Franc. 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère. Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Clerc Milon leaps from the glass with beautiful scents of chocolate-covered cherries. plum preserves and crushed blackcurrants with suggestions of lilacs. cardamom. underbrush and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied. the palate has a firm frame of finely grained tannins and seamless freshness lifting the perfumed fruit to a nice long finish.

Hot crushed stones and dark berries jump out of the glass. Full body. very dense fruit and powerful tannins. yet it remains agile and bright with beauty and energy. So muscular and toned. Truly outstanding Clerc for the future. Unwavering nature to this. Try after 2024.

The 2016 Clerc Milon is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon. 29% Merlot. 13% Cabernet Franc. 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere (the latter vinification intégrale. so that it includes 50% of the stems. and Philippe Dhalluin said he was pleased with the results). It has a very pure bouquet. a mixture of red and black fruit. a touch of cedar and ash in the background. It takes time to really unfold in the glass. The palate is adorable: svelte tannin. beautifully pitched acidity. great depth with a silky smooth finish that just caresses the mouth. There is a little tightness here compared to the more expressive 2016 d'Armailhac. but I have no doubt that it will turn into a top-flight Clerc-Milon.

Refined and ultra-fine with a linear and polished character. Full-bodied. yet tight and racy. A classy and sophisticated young wine.

Very fresh in feel. with bright cassis and cherry fruit racing along an iron edge. Shows a good sleek feel through the finish and a light tug of earth at the very end. A vivacious and delicious wine in the making. —J.M.
