In the mouth
Silken and velvety on the attack, with considerable depth and elegance. The mid-palate is rich and suave, expressing cassis and blueberry character supported by refined, enrobed tannins and pleasing freshness. The finish is harmonious, lingering with persistent fruited and mineral notes.
On the nose
A complex aromatic palette unfolds, mingling macerated dark fruits with liquorice and cedar notes. The bouquet is layered and evolving, revealing additional nuances as the wine opens.
On the eye
Deep cherry-red with garnet highlights, presenting an appealing intensity of colour.
An excellent accompaniment to beef fillet with seasonal vegetables. The wine's structure and tannin profile complement grilled or roasted preparations particularly well. Consider decanting thirty minutes before service to allow the aromatics to fully express themselves.

CHÂTEAU CLERC MILON
Situated in Pauillac at the heart of the Médoc, Château Clerc Milon is a 5th Classified Growth of 1855, covering 41 hectares of deep sandy gravels over a clay-limestone base, facing south towards the Gironde. Founded in 1850, the château had fallen into near-abandonment when Baron Philippe de Rothschild acquired it in 1970, undertaking a thorough restoration led by the Mouton Rothschild teams. The blend, built around Cabernet Sauvignon, incorporates Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and a rare touch of Carmenère — a distinctive signature within the appellation. At Halles Quercamps, we selected this château for the precision of its Pauillac terroir, the consistency of its style, and the remarkable trajectory it has followed under the Rothschild family.
PAUILLAC CINQUIEME CRU CLASSE
Château Clerc Milon, cru classé depuis 1855 et propriété de la famille Rothschild depuis 1970, livre ici un Pauillac de belle structure. Le Carmenère y apporte sa rondeur caractéristique, tandis que l'assemblage classique du Médoc révèle une palette complexe de fruits noirs macérés, réglisse et cèdre. À déboucher après quelques années de garde pour en apprécier toute l'élégance. Idéal à table avec un pavé de bœuf et ses légumes.
