Château Clerc Milon – Pauillac – Red – 2007:

 

Château Clerc Milon: The Structured Elegance of Pauillac

A Fifth Growth Classified Grand Cru (1855), Château Clerc Milon is a celebrated Médoc property, directly adjacent to First Growths. Acquired by Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1970, it stands today as the epitome of Pauillac style: powerful, complex, and supremely refined. Its 41-hectare vineyard, situated on the Mousset plateau, benefits from exceptional deep gravel and clay-limestone soils, which impart the wine with its signature racy structure and aging potential.

Tasting Notes

• **Color:** Deep, brilliant garnet.
• **Nez:** Complex and intense, opening with aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, and licorice, evolving into elegant hints of cedar, graphite, and tobacco.
• **Palate:** The attack is velvety and precise. The mid-palate is rich and smooth, supported by coated tannins of remarkable finesse. Mineral freshness balances the density of the fruit.

Pairing & Service

This Grand Vin is an ideal partner for the most sophisticated dishes. Serve between 62 and 64°F (17-18°C) after decanting for at least two hours for younger vintages.

• **Pairing Suggestions:** Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Herb Crust, Rack of Lamb with Rosemary, Seared Duck Breast, Aged Cheddar.
