Clerc-Milon 2012 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. This is the 2012 grand vin from the property, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere. "This is another strong effort from the Mouton Rothschild stable and its excellent administrator Philippe Dhalluin. The 2012 Clerc Milon has an almost blackish-blue opaque colour, soft tannins, ripe notes of blackcurrants, liquorice and subtle background oak. There is an attractive floral, liquorice quality to the fruit. The wine is medium to full-bodied and beautifully pure with ripe tannin. It is soft enough to be approachable in several years and should drink well for 20." Robert Parker, 2015
