The aromatic profile is fresh, complex, and elegant with a fine minerality and classic Pauillac character. The taste is medium to full-bodied, juicy, and well-structured with fine-grained tannins, excellent freshness, and a harmonious finish, where fruit, spice, and light toasted notes merge into a balanced expression.

Château Clerc Milon 2024 is composed of a classic Bordeaux blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carménère, which gives the wine both structure, depth, and aromatic complexity.
