Château Clerc-Milon is a Cinquième Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, with a history closely tied to the Rothschild family. Baron Philippe de Rothschild acquired the estate in 1970. The château combines a classic Cabernet-driven structure with a distinct identity among the great wines of the Left Bank.
The vineyards are located in the northern part of Pauillac. The label, featuring dancing figures, is inspired by a historical work of art and makes Clerc-Milon instantly recognizable. Behind that artistic appearance lies a classic Bordeaux in which Cabernet Sauvignon and other traditional grapes complement one another.
The exceptionally warm and dry summer of 2022 produced concentrated grapes in Bordeaux. In this vintage, Clerc-Milon combines ripe dark fruit with firm tannins and a fresh undertone.
Blackcurrant, black cherry, cocoa, and graphite lend the wine depth. Its structure allows for further development in the bottle. With continued bottle aging, notes of tobacco, cedar, and earthiness may complement the fruit. The balance between ripeness, freshness, and tannins remains key to the wine’s development.
The château also has a special connection to art. The dancing figures on the label reference a historic work of art and make the bottle instantly recognizable. At Clerc-Milon, the tradition of Pauillac and the Rothschild family’s cultural interests come together. The wine deserves attention in its own right as a château, not just because of its famous family ties.
Serve with roasted beef, lamb, or dishes featuring mushrooms. Let the wine breathe in the glass and taste it before deciding whether decanting is necessary. Store the bottle in a dark, cool place at a stable temperature. A mature Bordeaux may develop sediment; if so, stand the bottle upright beforehand and pour carefully.
