Pastourelles de Clerc Milon 2018 Pauillac

Pastourelles de Clerc Milon 2018 is the second wine of Château Clerc Milon, one of the gems of Pauillac. Crafted with the same care and expertise as its bigger sibling, this wine offers all the refinement and character of Pauillac at a more accessible price. A blend of the region’s classic varietals, it shows remarkable depth, elegance, and the unmistakable Pauillac signature.

On the nose, blackcurrant and red berry fruits open up, layered with complex notes of cedar, tobacco, and subtle graphite. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a well-balanced structure. The dark fruit profile carries through with a touch of vanilla, spice, and a hint of earthy minerality, giving the wine a beautifully rounded mouthfeel.

As it evolves in the glass, additional notes of oak and leather emerge, enhancing the wine’s complexity and providing a sophisticated finish. The long, smooth finish is highlighted by fine tannins and a touch of freshness, making this an excellent wine to pair with a variety of dishes or simply enjoy on its own.

This is a wine that’s made to be approachable in its youth, yet it also has the depth to age gracefully over the next decade. Pair it with grilled meats, roast lamb, or rich, creamy dishes to fully appreciate its range and complexity.

For a taste of Pauillac with finesse and style, Pastourelles de Clerc Milon 2018 is the perfect choice.
