Château Clerc Milon 5th Growth Grand Cru Classe

Varietal mix
• Cabernet Sauvignon 60% Merlot 29% Cabernet Franc 9% Petit Verdot 1% Carmenère 1%

Tasting notes: The wine has a deeper reddish purple colour.
Concentration on the nose is revealed with great refinement and complexity. Black cherry and vanilla
aromas give way to deeper, smoky, peaty notes along with blond tobacco and dried flowers.
Refinement is everywhere on the palate as the lush and creamy attack expands over well-integrated
tannins to mingle with generous and varied flavours reminiscent of morello cherry and almonds,
with a slightly marine cast.
The finish, flavourful and fresh with great tension, displays dark chocolate, saline and mineral notes.
