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 2020 Château Clerc Milon brings another level of finesse and is a big step up over the Pastourelle. Kirsch, blackberries, graphite, lead pencil shavings, and a crushed stone-like sense of minerality give way to a full-bodied, nicely concentrated, tannic 2020 that's balanced and has terrific purity, followed by a great finish. A serious Pauillac, it warrants 7-8 years of bottle age and will have 20-25+ years of overall prime drinking.
The 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.
The 2020 Clerc Milon is a total knock-out. The 2020 has come together impressively with élevage. It offers up a heady mix of blueberry jam, crème de cassis, chocolate, new leather, spice and crushed rocks, with a ton of Cabernet Sauvignon character driving the overall feel.
