Chateau Clerc Milon

Das 1855 zum Cru Classe gekürte Chateau Clerc Milon liegt in der Gemeinde Pauillac an der Gironde-Mündung. Seine Weine besitzen ein erstklassiges Terroir, sowohl hinsichtlich der Beschaffenheit, als auch der Ausrichtung der Böden.
1970 kaufte Baron Philippe de Rothschild das Chateau, dessen Zustand und Bewirtschaftung zu wünschen übrig ließ. Dank eines engagierten Teams um die Tochter Baronin Philippine de Rothschild fand eine Neustrukturierung der Weinberge statt, sowie einige technische Verbesserungen bis hin zum Bau eines neuen Gärkellers und der Anschaffung hoch innovativer Anlagen. Durch dieser Veränderungen ist Cler Milon heut eine neue Referenz im Medoc. Sein Wein ist einer der gefragtesten der Appellation geworden.

Chateau Clerc Milon 2016 Pauillac

93 Punkte Vinous / Galloni für den Chateau Clerc Milon 2016

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

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.

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:

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.

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:

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.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Clerc Milon 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

Blackcurrants, tobacco, graphite, cloves and dried leaves on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Structured and compact with a long, mineral finish. Tight and austere. Very pretty structure here. Wait until 2025

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Clerc Milon 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

This throws off a lovely stream of violet and cassis aromas and flavors that are sleek and pure in feel, picking up dark cherry, iron and sanguine details along the way. Refined and cellarworthy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Clerc Milon 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Clerc Milon is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it has a very pure, beautifully delineated nose of crushed blackcurrants, fresh black plums and boysenberries with hints of wild thyme, damp soil, tar and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate offers taut, muscular black fruit with loads of savory layers and a firm, grainy texture, finishing long and mineral tinged.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Clerc Milon 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Clerc Milon is showing beautifully today. Gorgeous savory notes from the Cabernet Sauvignon open first, showing the modern direction of Clerc Milon towards a more Cabernet focused wine. Dried flowers, menthol, licorice, graphite and black cherry are all laced together effortlessly. The tannins have settled down a bit since en primeur, which is a very good sign for the future.

Chateau Clerc Milon 2019 Pauillac

James Suckling über den Chateau Clerc Milon 2019 Pauillac:

21 Jan, 2022 – Aromas of crushed stone, blackcurrants and blackberries. Full-bodied with extremely well-crafted tannins that are chewy and layered, yet polished and fantastic. Love the finish. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 25% petit verdot, 22% merlot and 4% cabernet franc. Drink after 2026.

William Kelley im April 2022:
BEST EVER für den Wineadvocate

The 2019 Clerc Milon is a real success. At more than 70%, this blend contains one of the highest proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon in the property's recent history, and the result is a wine of real nobility. Offering up aromas of violets, wild berries, licorice, loamy soil and cigar wrapper, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with notable depth at the core, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish. From clay-limestone soils rather than the sandy gravels that characterize d'Armailhac, this is by some margin the more structured and serious of Mouton-Rothschild's two Pauillac stablemates.

94 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Clerc Milon 2019 Pauillac

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Clerc Milon 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Clerc Milon is seriously impressive. Dense, plush and explosive, Clerc Milon delivers a captivating mix of inky, dense fruit intermingled with savory accents from the 72% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend (the highest since 1986). Dried herbs, tobacco, menthol and licorice weave into the deep, resonant finish. Superb.

93 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Clerc Milon 2019 Pauillac

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Clerc Milon 2019 Pauillac:

As I stated in my review from barrel, the 2019 Clerc Milon contains a higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (72%), from massal selection parcels that are reaching maturity. This has a very intense bouquet, perhaps now leaning more toward black than red fruit; iodine, blood orange and graphite scents emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and vivacious, with fine-boned tannins, good focus and a silky-smooth texture toward the graphite-tinged finish. There is more elegance here than I noticed last year. This should evolve into a top-grade Clerc-Milon.

93 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Clerc Milon 2019 Pauillac

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denChateau Clerc Milon 2019 Pauillac:

Presents a very fresh core of cassis, red cherry and damson plum fruit flavors that meld nicely with a racy iron streak, while light savory and floral details run along the edges. A very pure and bright version that should age well. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère. Best from 2023 through 2038.

Chateau Clerc Milon 2021 Pauillac

Christian Balog beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:

Die Nase ist fruchtig und auch hier ein Mix aus Kirsche und hellen Beeren, ein zart würziger Touch ist im Spiel. Ein bisschen Holunderstrauch verleiht einen kleinen Kick. Im Mund kompakt und saftig, das Tannin ist durchaus fleischig. Der Nachklang mittel bis voll. Gute aromatische Länge. 90-92 Punkte

William Kelly zum Chateau Clerc Milon 2021 Pauillac (April 2022):

The 2021 Clerc Milon is a success, bursting with aromas of blackberries, cassis and plums mingled with violets, tobacco leaf and nicely integrated new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, it's deep, fleshy and complete, with a rich core of succulent fruit, beautifully polished tannins and a long, sapid finish, it's a compelling, characterful wine that transcends the vintage.

Around 32% of the production will end up as the 2021 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon, a medium-bodied, ample and charming wine evocative of violets, exotic spices, blackberries, cassis and nicely integrated new oak.

Wir haben die 2020er Kampagne nun geschlossen.

Für das entgegengebrachte Interesse möchten wir uns bedanken.

Wir bieten in den nächsten Wochen den 2019er Jahrgang in der Arrivage an.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Clerc Milon 2020 Pauillac:

The 2020 Clerc Milon - a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot with just a splash of Carmenere - has a deep garnet-purple color, opening with notes of tar, unsmoked cigars, bouquet garni and graphite, giving way to a core of ripe black and red currants, boysenberries and tree bark, plus a touch of black olives. The medium-bodied palate delivers fantastic tension and impressively ripe, fine-grained tannins to support the crunchy, energetic black fruit flavors, finishing with a lively herbal lift.

95-96 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Clerc Milon 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Clerc Milon 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

Very pure character to this wine with crushed fruit and round tannins. It’s really transparent and delicate, yet bold at the same time. Super tannins. Vivid. Very primary and berry-like. May well turn out to be even better than this in bottle.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 93-95 Punkten bewertet

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feines Bukett nach Cassis und Brombeeren, zart nach Orangenzesten, mineralischer Touch, noch etwas zurückhaltend. Saftig, gute Komplexität, reife Herzkirschen, fruchtige Süße, reife Tannine, Nougat im Abgang, gute Länge, ein stoffiger Speisen- begleiter mit gutem Reifepotenzial.

91-93 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Clerc Milon 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Clerc Milon:

The 2020 Clerc Milon has a crisp, well-defined bouquet that you might suspect derives from a cooler growing season. Mainly black fruit here, along with cedar and light sea spray/estuarine scents, unfolding nicely in the glass but always keeping something back. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. An elegant rather than powerful Clerc Milon, with a slightly ferrous, well-structured but never grippy finish and a saline aftertaste. Give this 4–5 years in bottle. Classic Pauillac through and through.
