Bonnes Mares, Grand Cru, Domaine Dujac, Burgundy 2023 vs Château Clerc Milon 2012

Château Clerc Milon 2012

The Château Clerc Milon 2012 is a bold and beautifully structured Pauillac with deep red colour and a touch of violet. It’s full-bodied and intense, opening with juicy blackberry and liquorice flavours that are wrapped in smooth, velvety tannins. Despite its power, the wine maintains a perfect balance of richness and freshness, with a long, elegant finish that lingers with bright acidity and a subtle mineral edge. Château Clerc Milon sits in prime Pauillac territory, right next to its legendary First Growth neighbours, Mouton and Lafite Rothschild - you can spot their vines from the château’s terrace. The estate's revival began in 1970, when Baron Philippe de Rothschild acquired the neglected property and set out to restore its reputation as a Classified Growth. His daughter, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, carried on his vision, fully re-establishing Clerc Milon as a top-tier Pauillac estate that produces wines of exceptional quality and value.
