2005 Château Clerc Milon, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

This underrated estate, located next to two First Growths, Mouton and Lafite, is the most forward and easy to appreciate of the Baroness Philippine properties. But alongside its sweet lush fruit and exotic crowd-pleasing style is some real Pauillac grip and substantial tannins and structure. Like the d'Armailhac, this has real life and energy to it but the fruit is more minerally and concentrated and the wine is more serious. Made from 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot this is one of the sleepers of the vintage.

Pauillac

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
