Chateau Clerc Milon Pauillac 750ml
| Vintage: | 2017 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Creamy weight through the body, although as with the 2001 this is a vintage that stays on the lighter side of its Pauillac tannins. As it opens, you get subtle layers of blackberry, flint, graphite, cassis, touches of smoked coffee beans. A separate vineyard and cellar team had been in charge here since 2009, headed up by ex-Opus One winemaker Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy. The 300 plots of the vineyard had been reworked down to 70 or so plots through careful land purchases, and the vineyard worked carefully to ensure the roots could travel deeper. Blend completed with 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmanère, because at this point a new wine cellar with smaller tanks made it possible to vinify them apart. Drinking Window 2025 - 2044. |
