Chateau Clerc Milon

Château Clerc Milon is a prestigious Fifth Growth estate in Pauillac, Bordeaux, owned by the Rothschild family since 1970. The estate spans 41 hectares of prime gravelly soils, planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, along with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carmenère. Clerc Milon is known for producing structured, age-worthy wines that balance power and finesse.

The winemaking process combines tradition with innovation. Grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and sorted before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with a significant portion being new oak, enhancing depth and complexity. Clerc Milon’s wines exhibit classic Pauillac characteristics—rich black fruit, graphite, and spice, with elegant tannins and a long, refined finish.

Under the Rothschilds' stewardship, the estate has embraced sustainable viticulture, ensuring quality and respect for the terroir. Château Clerc Milon continues to be a benchmark for excellence in Bordeaux winemaking.
