Pastourelle de Clerc Milon 2016 (75cl)

The second wine of Château Clerc Milon, a Fifth Growth estate in Pauillac, sourced from younger vines and specific parcels. Deep gravel soils impart minerality and structure to the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend. The 2016 vintage is noted for balance and concentration across Bordeaux. Vinification includes a judicious oak regime, typically with a lower proportion of new oak than the grand vin. The wine shows ripe blackcurrant, cassis, graphite minerality, cedar and tobacco leaf, with a medium to full-bodied palate, firm yet integrated tannins, vibrant acidity and a persistent finish.
