Clerc Milon carries about 1% Carménère, a variety largely lost to the Médoc after phylloxera, alongside the more usual Petit Verdot. The label is a piece of the Rothschild art collection: from 1970 Baron Philippe used a reproduction of a Jungfraubecher, a
silver-gilt marriage cup by a 17th-century German goldsmith, and in 1983 he replaced it with a pair of dancers reproduced from a miniature of gold, enamel and pearls that had belonged to Catherine II of Russia, inspired by Commedia dell'Arte characters.
The wine is known in several markets simply as 'the two dancers'. A new winery building was completed in 2011, and a second wine, Pastourelle de Clerc Milon, was introduced with the 2009 vintage.
Grilled côte de boeuf
A Cabernet-dominant Pauillac needs the fat and char of a bone-in beef cut to resolve its tannin.
Roast leg of lamb with garlic
The traditional Pauillac partner: lamb fat softens tannin and the garlic meets the wine's savoury depth.
Venison with blackcurrant sauce
Lean game and dark fruit sauce track the cassis character typical of Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon.
Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
Pauillac classic: ripe blackcurrant, cedar spice, structured tannins. Elegant Bordeaux for the table.
Château Clerc Milon 2015 is a Bordeaux red blend anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon (58%), with supporting Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carmenère. The wine displays a medium-full body with medium-high tannins and balanced acidity, characteristic of Pauillac terroir.
On the nose, dominant blackcurrant and plum fruit lead, with secondary cedar and black pepper notes from oak aging. The palate shows structure and depth, with tertiary tobacco and leather complexity emerging. Minerality rounds the finish.
This is a food-friendly Bordeaux suited to grilled red meats, lamb, braised beef, aged cheeses, and earthy mushroom preparations. Decant 30–45 minutes before service to open the aromatics.
