2021 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon

The 2021 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon is a bold, juicy wine. Succulent dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and violet all flesh out in the glass. Pastourelle is one of the hidden gems in Bordeaux. The 2021 is another fine edition. Readers should expect a fleshy, supple style.

This is energetic, with a bright citrus and currant character, orange peels and light chocolate. Medium body, fine tannins and a vivid finish. Crunchy. Drink or hold. (07/2024)

Ripe black fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and smoky, herbal notes all emerge from the 2021 Pastourelle De Clerc Milon, a medium to full-bodied, ripe, textured, fleshy effort that brings more fruit and texture than many a Grand Vin. It's perfect for drinking over the coming decade. (04/2024)

A blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 2% Carmenere, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2021 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon has a deep garnet-purple color. It opens with earthy notes of fertile loam, tar, and moss, leading to a core of black cherries and redcurrants, with a touch of dried herbs. The light-bodied palate has a pleasant chewiness to the texture, a racy line with delicate red and black berry flavors, and a savory finish. (04/2024)

Aromas of sweet cherries, dark berry compote, spices and licorice introduce the 2021 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and polished wine that's suave, succulent and charming, with powdery tannins and a mouthwateringly mineral finish.
