  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."

  Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feiner Velourstouch, ein Hauch von dunklen Beeren, Nuancen von Gewürznelken, etwas Bourbonvanille, feiner Cassistouch, sehr facettenreich und einladend. Stoffig, elegant, reife Herzkirschen, feine, seidige Tannine, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, harmonisch, zart schokoladig im Abgang, bleibt sehr gut haften, zugänglich, antrinkbar, aber auch mit sicherem Potenzial ausgestattet."

  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."

  Wine Enthusiast
  This is a seriously concentrated wine, with dense tannins and powerful black fruits. The wine has a fine, spicy aroma from the judicious wood aging along with balance and blackberry flavors. Drink from 2028."

  Depth and dark intensity of the colour from the first moment, slate texture to the tannins and dark cocoa-dusted damsons and cassis, vivid fruit quality, with black olives, spiced cumin and turmeric, mint leaf and eucalyptus. This is wet stone, salinity, dynamic quality, a great wine in this extreme vintage. Plenty of ageing capacity ahead. Caroline Artaud technical director, 50% new oak."

  Decanter
  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."

  Weinwisser
  59 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 % Merlot, 8 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Carmenère, pH 3.83, 14.5 Vol.-%. Delikates Bouquet, Wildkirsche, Graphit, Oliven und betörendes Veilchenparfüm. Am sublimen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, balancierter Rasse, kakaoartigem Tanningerüst und engmaschigem Körper. Im gebündelten, geradlinigen Gaumen schwarzbeerige Konturen, Estragon und feinkörniger Extrakt. Gehört dieses Jahr dank seiner Intensität und Eleganz in seiner Klasse zu den Besten!"

  The Wine Advocate
  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."

  Very dark crimson. Marked stony/mineral character over the deep, dark, non-sweet fruit. Smells like a stone quarry. Elegant in its power. Even after tasting many tannic wines, this stands out for its tannic elegance. Fresh on the finish even if the tannins are making the strongest impression at the moment."
