The Pastourelle de Clerc Milon is an elegant wine with plenty of black fruit aromas and flavours such as blackcurrant and cherry. As well as the ripe fruit flavours, there are also hints of leather and some pencil shavings. The finish is full, long and fine with some chocolate notes too. Another wonderful wine from the Rothschild stable, this is the second wine of Château Clerc Milon, and it benefits from the same care and attention as the main wine. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with a decent dollop of Merlot and touches of Cabernet Franc, it will become quite complex with ageing.
