Chateau Clerc-Milon, Pauillac, France 2012 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Renoir's NV Extra-Brut Grand CruNow firmly in its new cellars, Clerc Milons wine is performing at the top of its form. This is a dense wine with juicy acidity as well as sweet tannins and ripe blackberry fruits. They give a ripe wine that is finely structured. The juicy aftertaste, typical of this vintage, is appealing although it does not detract from its power and longevity. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
