Fifth Growth. Cinquieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855. Formerly labeled as Chateau Clerc-Milon-Mondon.
Expert tasting note: (2009 vintage) "Deep, Dark, ruby-red color. Fresh & leafy cassis aromas. Flavors are of well-married cassis fruit and cedary oak. Tannins are fine & despite a slight green touch have good grip. The finish lasts well with concentrated tar and liquorice notes at the end." - 11/13 DCAMW

Nature was particularly kind in 2009, providing conditions that favoured the vegetation cycle and helped the grapes to reach full maturity. Winter was a little colder than usual, though in the period to March the region had 204 hours of sunshine more than the average for the last thirty years. April was very wet and May often stormy. Flowering took place rapidly and evenly around 5 June. Summer set in from mid-June, bringing remarkable levels of sunshine and little rainfall. The very fine weather and high level of hydric stress, barely alleviated by a few showers, enabled the grapes to ripen slowly to full maturity. Temperatures in August were 1.4° C higher than the average. The ideal weather continued into September as cool nights alternated with hot days. The weather, encouraging the concentration of aromas and flavours and the accumulation of anthocyans, brought the crop to harvest in perfect condition.

Picking began with the Merlot on 23 September and ended with the Cabernet Sauvignon on 12 October. The grapes were extremely healthy, containing plenty of sugar, colour and fruit and showing exceptional potential. 2009 will undoubtedly go down as a vintage to match the finest.

An intense purple with a violet tint, Clerc Milon 2009 reveals a powerful and warm nose of black fruit mingled with mineral, liquorice, violet and aniseed notes. The attack is full and precise. The creamy caress of the structure comes to the fore from the outset, displaying crisp and abundant tannins with a highly precise texture. Ripe fruit flavours fill the mouth, recalling the nose and bringing astonishing sapidity to a full and solidly rooted structure. Rich and elegant, the wine builds from mineral and roast coffee notes to a long finish, full of freshness.
