Description

The 1961 Clerc-Milon from the legendary 1961 vintage is a classic Pauillac, with deep leather and tobacco aromas swirling around a lighter core of sweet cassis, earth and capsicum notes. The palate was completely resolved and almost seemed to melt in the mouth, with soft, barely there tannins and perfectly integrated acidity dripping through lovely, pure notes of cassis and capsicum, earth and mineral, with just a twist of black tea at the finish.

In the 18th century, Château Clerc Milon formed part of the vast estates of the seigneury of Lafite. Sold as a "national asset" in the Revolution, it was acquired in 1789 by the Clerc family, which joined its name to that of Milon, the Pauillac hamlet where the estate is located.
