The finest example of the château I’ve tasted, the 2022 Château Clerc Milon is deep purple-hued with a sensational perfume of crème de cassis, spring flowers, spicy oak, and graphite. It’s full-bodied, concentrated, has a weightless mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins, all making for a riveting Pauillac. It needs a decade of bottle age to hit prime time, but this is another truly special 2022 that readers should pounce on.

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.

So much Pauillac character with lead pencil, currants and red fruit. Orange peel and slightly burnt oranges. Medium-bodied, this has creamy and crunchy tannins as well as dried citrus and a flavorful finish. Lovely drive to this exquisite, energetic wine. Drink after 2028.

Aromas of sweet crème de cassis, licorice, violets and creamy new oak introduce the 2022 Clerc Milon, a full-bodied, rich and layered wine that's deep and vibrant, with ripe, integrated tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long finish. As I wrote en primeur, its clay-limestone terroir lends it a distinctive signature that sets it apart from the rest of the portfolio.

Liquorice spice, dark fruit, dried herbs, and faint florals on the nose. Wide, succulent, and alive in the mouth. Tannins are velvety, giving structure while strawberry and cherry fruit shine. Still a little compact, narrowing slightly on the finish with bitter chocolate, coffee, and liquorice. Excellent acidity and a limestone-driven mineral core - flint, wet stone, graphite - keeping it fresh and refined. Rich yet pure, with a strong Pauillac signature. Bottled in June. 3.81pH. Ageing 50% new oak.

This is 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carmenère, with an élevage in 50% new oak, the remainder in second-fill barrels. This is classic Clerc-Milon on the nose, fragrant and charming, combining dark and somewhat crystalline fruits with a fresh aromatic lift of crushed chalk and minty verbena. The palate is bright, polished, textural and grippy, with a very fresh and integrated substance, plenty of dark and fresh fruit character sitting over a confident but harmonious and tightly knit bed of tannins. This dark character persists into the finish, supported by that wrapping of ripe and highly polished tannins, but it also carries a bright, perfumed, floral edge, with bitter dark chocolate and plenty of textural substance, but always showing that bright limestone vigour. And it is long too - a top Clerc-Milon in this vintage. Tasted twice. The alcohol is 14.39%, with 14.5% on the label.

The 2022 Clerc Milon offers more red fruit than black, strawberry and raspberry, sous-bois and touches of red roses. Simpler than the Grand-Puy Ducasse tasted alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite strict and what you might call quite ‘serious’, with an off-dry finish that might put off those seeking more fruit in their claret. Personally, I like the cut of its jib. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
