Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Decanter

Made with the young vines of Clerc Milon, this has tight tannins and is certainly still full of primary fruits and vigour at this stage, with a violet edging - I would give it another few years to really soften and open up. A great second wine that has ageing potential, clearly showing its low pH.

Jeb Dunnuck

The second wine of Clerc Milon, the 2016 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon checks in as 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot brought up in once-used barrels. It’s a ripe, powerful second wine that has loads to love, with notes of currants, ripe black cherries, smoked earth, and violets. It’s a ripe, chewy, medium to full-bodied 2016 that has moderate tannins, plenty of texture, and while it’s already drinking nicely, it should easily keep for 10-15 years.
