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.

Pauillac powerhouse: ripe blackcurrant, cedar, and structured tannins. Age-worthy Bordeaux classic.
Château Clerc Milon's 2023 vintage exemplifies the power and elegance of Pauillac. A Cabernet Sauvignon–led Bordeaux blend, it opens with dominant blackcurrant and dark plum fruit, layered with cedar and tobacco complexity. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with high tannins that promise graceful evolution over the next 15–20 years.
Secondary oak and black pepper notes frame the wine's architecture, while tertiary slate and earth minerality hint at the gravelly terroir. This is a wine built for the cellar and the table—equally at home aging in a collection or paired with grilled red meat, lamb, and aged cheeses today.
