I 1970 købte Rothschild-familien Château Clerc Milon, der på det tidspunkt trængte til en gennemrenovering. Slottet ligger som nabo til vinmarkerne hos såvel storebror Mouton-Rothschild som en anden berømte slægtning; Lafite-Rothschild.
Da Rothschild-familien købte Château Clerc Milon i 1970 var slottet og vinen en skygge af, hvad den er i dag. De nye ejere renoverede ejendommen og de omliggende marker. I dag er Château Clerc Milon en efterspurgt vare, der især i de unge år tiltaler et stort publikum.

The 2016 Clerc-Milon has a tightly knit bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and light floral scents, very similar to its sibling, d’Armailhac. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin. Initially it displays crisp acidity and feels quite fleshy, but it firms up and finishes persistent but linear and a little aloof. I personally find that appealing, and I suspect this Pauillac will blossom after several years in bottle.
Hot crushed stones and dark berries jump out of the glass. Full body, very dense fruit and powerful tannins, yet it remains agile and bright with beauty and energy. So muscular and toned. Truly outstanding Clerc for the future. Unwavering nature to this. Try after 2024.
The Cabernet Franc was fantastic this year, so it was all used in the grand vin. The final blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Clerc Milon leaps from the glass with beautiful scents of chocolate-covered cherries, plum preserves and crushed blackcurrants with suggestions of lilacs, cardamom, underbrush and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of finely grained tannins and seamless freshness lifting the perfumed fruit to a nice long finish.
