Château Clerc Milon Pauillac Grand Cru Classé AOC

Tied to the Seigneuries of Lafite and Mouton (future First Classified Growths belonging to two different branches of the Rothschild family), Château Clerc Milon derives its name from its historic owners, the Clerc family, who acquired it when it was sold as a national asset after the French Revolution.

Today, the third generation, represented by Camille and Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild, perpetuates Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s values ​​and expertise and continues to develop Château Clerc Milon with the same dynamism and desire for modernity. Thanks to over 50 years of continuous work and a dedicated team with cutting-edge technical facilities, Château Clerc Milon is more than ever a benchmark of Médoc excellence.

2015 vintage in Pauillac is very similar in its heft and opulence to the 2005 vintage. The wines immediately showed plenty of colour and a complete array of very intense aromas ranging from red and black fruit to spice and incense.

Pastourelle de Clerc Milon Pauillac AOC (Château Clerc Milon GCC 2nd wine)

Tied to the Seigneuries of Lafite and Mouton (future First Classified Growths belonging to two different branches of the Rothschild family), Château Clerc Milon derives its name from its historic owners, the Clerc family, who acquired it when it was sold as a national asset after the French Revolution.

Living testimony to the considerable improvements in quality achieved at the property since the arrival of Baron Philippe and his descendants, Château Clerc Milon now has a second wine. Pastourelle de Clerc Milon has joined the dance and already accomplished its first very confident steps in the company of fine Pauillac wines. Its name comes from a traditional dance, the pastourelle, which evokes a knight’s romantic encounter with a shepherdess: the name echoes the pair of dancers that adorn the label of the Grand Vin. Made of gold, enamel and pearls, this precious miniature from the Museum of Wine in Art at Château Mouton Rothschild belonged to Catherine II, the empress of Russia, and is inspired by characters of the Commedia dell’Arte. Baroness Philippine de Rothschild chose it as the Clerc Milon emblem because of her love of the theatre.

2012 was a year of contrasts. The conditions of the vintage favoured superb expression of the Merlot, here mostly planted on clay-limestone parcels.
