Chateau Clerc Milon 2017

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or wild mushroom risotto.

94 Points - James Suckling

Rich, opulent aromas of blackberries, graphite and a touch of tar. Tightly wound and fine grained, with a full body and a very long finish. Good initial evolution. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 23% merlot, 14% cabernet franc, 2% petit verdot and 1% carmenere. Drink or hold. From a vertical tasting at the chateau.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

With its elegant structure and a layer of firm tannins, this wine has density, a dry core and the black-currant freshness that comes with the vintage. The tannins will allow this wine to age well. Drink from 2023. Roger Voss

94 Points - Wine Spectator

This starts with a kick of violet before a well-built beam of black currant, fig and plum paste flavors enters authoritatively. Very solid through the finish, with chestnut, alder and graphite notes adding a defined bass line. Fresh acidity is well-embedded throughout, keeping all the elements in line. A strong showing. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère. Best from 2022 through 2038.
