Producer

Producer

The Château Clerc Milon vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, typical of the Pauillac region. This terroir, bathed in sunlight and tempered by the maritime influence, allows the grapes to ripen slowly and reach optimal aromatic concentration. The vines, some several decades old, benefit from meticulous care, guaranteeing the production of high-quality grapes. Each plot is cultivated with care, respecting natural cycles, in order to preserve the authenticity of the terroir.

Owner and history

Château Clerc Milon is currently owned by the Rothschild family, who have breathed new life into the estate since acquiring it in 1970. Passionate about the art of winemaking, they have invested in modern techniques while preserving traditional know-how. This approach has allowed the estate to rise to the ranks of the great names of Pauillac, while remaining true to its values ​​of authenticity and respect for the environment.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Clerc Milon is a meticulous process, respecting tradition while incorporating modern techniques. The carefully selected grapes are destemmed before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This method allows for precise temperature control, thus promoting the expression of aromas. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, for 12 to 16 months. This barrel aging imparts additional complexity and a beautiful structure to the wine.
