(JS 95-96 points) Focused and bright with plenty of fruit but oranges and minerals in the mid-palate. Really fresh with a fresh bitterness.

jebdunnuck.com, May 2023

(94-96 points) As to the Grand Vin 2022 Château Clerc Milon, it reminds me of the 2018 with its full-bodied, ripe, yet elegant style. Cassis, graphite, espresso roast, and lead pencil notes define the aromatics, and it...

(94-96 points) Spicy red fruits, flowers, cedar, tobacco leaf, and currants make an appearance in the nose. On the palate, the wine is silky, fresh and elegant. The profile here is elegance, refinement, lift, and purity...

Wine Enthusiast, November 2023

(WE 94-96 points) Powerful and structured, the wine has weight as well as ripe tannins. As always in this vintage, the wine's acidity keeps everything fresh and bright enough to lift the wine's fine fruit. — Roger Voss

Decanter, April 2023

Fragrant, perfumed black berries and purple flowers. Smells intense and concentrated, deep, dark and rich. Bold and characterful from the first sip, supple and generous, a lovely shot of strawberry and red cherry fruit...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2023

(WA 93-95 points) The 2022 Clerc Milon is beautiful, offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries and plums mingled with hints of pencil shavings and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's taut...
TWI 95

The Wine Independent, May 2023

(93 - 95 points) The 2022 Clerc Milon is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Carmenere. Deep garnet-purple in color, it races out with vivacious notes of fresh blackcurrants, black...
VN 93

Vinous, May 2023

(VN 91-93 points) The 2022 Clerc Milon, matured in 55% new oak with 14.6% alcohol, has a very tightly-wound nose at the moment. There's good fruit concentration, but it is missing a bit of personality, unlike its...
