We were particularly impressed by Clerc Milon this year, a standout from the vintage for us. Offered at £275 per six in bond, we found it particularly elegant and classical in structure, whilst D'Armailhac continues to offer extraordinary value for a Pauillac fifth growth, at just £167 per six. Finally, 2024 Château Coutet was stunning when we tasted it and the critics appear to agree, with both Neal Martin and Antonio Galloni awarding it 94-96 points, describing it as 'superb' and 'voluptuous'.
Offered en primeur, landing spring 2027.
Magnums available with £20 ex-VAT bottling surcharge per six, please enquire re other formats.

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Clerc Milon was picked from September 24 to October 6 and raised in 55% new oak with just a little more Cabernet than previous years. It has a fragrant bouquet with blackberry, briar and light iodine scents that unfold nicely in the glass, though it's not as vigorous as the top vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with finely cut tannins. It has moderate weight and density, with a pleasing sweetness of fruit that comes through on the finish. This Clerc Milon has an appealing sense of composure and it should age well in bottle. 2029-2055. 91-93 points." Neal Martin, Vinous------"The 2024 Clerc Milon is packed with blue/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, dried flowers and mocha. Juicy and forward, Clerc Milon has a lot to recommend it. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness to complement the wine's mid-weight structure. Lovely. Tasted two times. 91-93 points." Antonio Galloni, Vinous------"Very well-made, showing warm bread and graphite to the darker fruit. Not quite dense, this is balanced, juicy and supple in the center, showing a mix of black and red berries and cedar in the finish. Medium- to full-bodied, focused and nicely structured. It has fine, firm tannins and a long, nuanced finish. Classic Bordeaux without any sweetness. 94-95 points." (ZS) JamesSuckling.com |
