90 Robert Parker
This outstanding effort displays loads of cassis fruit interwoven with notions of espresso roast, white chocolate, and menthol. It possesses a terrific front end, good mid-section, and moderately high tannin in the finish. Approximately 15,000 cases were produced. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025.
Producer
Château Clerc Milon
Assuming her father’s role, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild took over the then small village house in Pauillac until her passing in 2014, transforming the property into the glorious Château Clerc Milon that we know of today. The late Baroness Philippine headed grand innovations during her leadership. In 2007, the new gravity-feed vat room was constructed, while in 2011, they built a cellar, a half-underground barrel hall, a reception area and several tasting rooms. With its status as a Classified Growth restored, after the famous 1855 Classification, their wines are well-rounded and surprisingly approachable for Pauillac. Their 40-hectare property should not to be overshadowed by its neighbor and otherwise sister château, Château Mouton Rothschild. They continually produce quality blends with present Merlot – showing ripe and plummy components that are more than unique to Château Clerc Milon.
