Pastourelle de Clerc Milon 2011 Pauillac (75cl)

Pastourelle de Clerc Milon is the second wine of Château Clerc Milon in Pauillac, made from younger vines or sets not selected for the grand vin. This is the 2011 vintage. Pauillac reds are usually built around Cabernet Sauvignon, giving structured, dark-fruited wines. A second wine like this is typically more approachable earlier, suited to a dinner where you do not want to wait a decade. Expect blackcurrant and cedar aromas typical of Pauillac Cabernet blends, with moderate tannins that make it easier to drink now than a top-tier Pauillac.
