Jane Anson bewertete (02/2023) Château Clerc Milon 2020 wie folgt: „Opulent damson and spiced chocolate, graphite, fresh acidities, crushed mint leaf and eucalputus, restrained but vibrant precision. This is well structured, extends outwards and upwards, showing chewy tannins with grip. Harvest September 9 to 29. New director Caroline Artaud arrived for the harvest in this year, and has overseen a hugely successful wine, 60% new oak..” – 95 Punkte
James Suckling bewertete (05/2023) Château Clerc Milon 2020 wie folgt: “Blackcurrants, black licorice, violets and lavender. Aromatic and perfumed. Full- to medium-bodied with tension and focus, and very fine, linear tannins that run the length of the wine. Starting to close now. Serious Clerc. Better after 2029″ – 97 Punkte
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate bewertete (03/2023) Château Clerc Milon 2020 wie folgt: „Aromas of dark berries, cigar wrapper, exotic spices and burning embers introduce the 2020 Clerc Milon, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered wine that’s seamless, concentrated and refined, with lively acids and a long, saline, violet-inflected finish. A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and the balance Petit Verdot, it’s a terrific effort from this clay-limestone terroir that has benefited from so much investment in recent years” – 94+ Punkte
Jeff Leve bewertete (03/2023) Château Clerc Milon 2020 wie folgt: „TThe nose opens with a display of flowers, cherry pipe tobacco, spices, and currants. Medium-bodied, elegant, fresh, crisp, and clean, there is a nice sense of purity to the array of red fruits along with a touch of spice, and vibrancy in the refined, soft, mildly, dusty finish. This is going to be gorgeous to enjoy in its youth, although it clearly has the ability to age and improve for 2-3 decades with ease. Drink from 2025-2050.” – 94 Punkte
Vinum bewertete (08/2023) Château Clerc Milon 2020 wie folgt: „Hat noch an aromatischer Komplexität gewonnen, mit seinen blumigen und kräuterigen Noten; fruchtiger Ansatz, dichte, sogar muskulöse Entwicklung, erstklassiges, seidiges Tannin, das Schliff und Mineralität vermittelt; hervorragend, eigenständig, voller Charakter, gehört definitiv zu den Spitzenweinen des Jahres.” – 18,5/20
