Clerc-Milon 2005 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Encompassing 41 hectares of vineyards in the northeastern part of Pauillac, Château Clerc Milon occupies a position between the Mouton Rothschild and Lafite Rothschild estates, situated atop a crest with a commanding view of the Gironde estuary. The soil composition consists of sandy clay overlaying a base of clay-limestone, and the gentle slope aids in effective drainage. On the standout 2005. "This is an impressive and dynamic 2005 with blackcurrant, sweet-tobacco and raw-meat aromas that follow through to a full body with wonderful fruit complexity and succulent tannins. It’s a joy to drink now, but will continue to improve for decades ahead. One of the best ever." James Suckling, 2018

Vinous
The 2005 Clerc Milon has plenty of red berry fruit, kirsch, touches of liquorice and cassis. The palate is medium-bodied and fresher than the Armailhac with supple tannins and notes of white pepper and liquorice. This comes across surprisingly sweet and spicy on the finish, though it lacks the complexity and elegance of the very best vintages of this Pauillac estate. Tasted at Mouton Rothschild.
