Clerc Milon Description
The wine is a deep garnet red with crimson highlights. The radiant nose releases a rich and complex bouquet in which aromas of black fruit preserved in spirits combine with chocolate notes and the scent of dried flowers. the succulent and smooth attack leads into a mid-palate which unfolds a lovely texture underpinned by concentrated, silky and deep tannins. The wine is well structured overall, with fullness and heft on the palate, delivering spice and licorice flavors on the finish.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Perfumed aromas of blackberries and cherries with hints of flowers. Full body, round and linear tannins and resounding freshness and brightness. Polished and fine tannins. Hard not to drink now. Beauty. Second wine of Clerc Milon. Drink or hold.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Ripe fruit shines in this wine. With its rich tannins and soft texture, this second wine is made from a mix of young vines and a selection of barrels not suitable for the top wine. It has a juicy red fruits, a jammy ripe character and will age quickly. This wine will be released in 2020. Drink from 2024.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
This has matured nicely, showing an ample core of plum and red currant fruit flavors that have melded with a mix of singed applewood, tea and iron notes through the finish. Has the weight of the vintage, but is ready to drink.
Vinous Media: 90 Points
The 2015 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon is a gorgeous second wine from Clerc-Milon. Forward and supple, the 2015 fleshes out in the glass with lovely density and volume. Ripe plum, blueberry, menthol and spice notes give the 2015 much of its seductive personality. Clerc-Milon releases the Pastourelle with some bottle age, when it is ready to drink, with the goal of arriving at a wine list in $100/bottle range. The 2015 is flat-out delicious. The blend is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Composed of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon is a second wine of Clerc Milon, representing an earlier drinking style designed specifically for the on-trade. It is usually released a bit later (after two to three years’ aging) by the Chateau in order to be consumed upon release. Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon features an open-knit, earthy/meaty nose of damp soil, smoked meats and new leather with a core of warm red currants and blackberries plus a touch of garrigue. Medium-bodied, it reveals plenty of savory layers with a chewy frame and lively lift to the finish.
