Pastourelle de Clerc Milon 2018 Pauillac (75cl)

Pastourelle de Clerc Milon 2018 is the second wine of Château Clerc Milon, a Pauillac Fifth Growth classified in 1855 and owned by the Rothschild family since 1970. It is made as a more approachable, fruit-forward wine, designed for earlier enjoyment while keeping the structure of the estate. The colour is an intense, crimson-hued garnet. The nose opens on blackcurrant and blackberry, and with air brings out toasted and spicy notes alongside ripe black fruit. The palate starts generous, with smooth, fleshy tannins and a close-knit body carrying licorice and chocolate. The finish is long and balanced, recalling the freshness of the fruit.
