The 2022 Château Clerc Milon is a distinguished Fifth Growth (5ème Grand Cru Classé) from Pauillac, Bordeaux, made from 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carmenère. The nose is rich and complex with bilberry and wild berries, layered with violet, pepper, spice and subtle liquorice notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and concentrated with freshness, silky integrated tannins and a precise mineral structure. Black fruit, liquorice and mineral notes lead into cocoa powder on the long, persistent finish, combining the power of the 2022 vintage with classic Pauillac elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Bordeaux drinkers who enjoy concentrated Cabernet fruit, refined tannins and classic Pauillac structure with excellent ageing potential. Enjoy it after several years of bottle age or cellar comfortably into the 2030s and beyond. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steak, slow-braised beef, venison or mature hard cheeses.
