Score 90/100 · Drink 2025-2035, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Mar 2025

Bursting with notes of sweet dark berries, plums, licorice and cigar wrapper, the 2022 Pastourelle de Clerc Milon is a medium to full-bodied, rich and ample wine that's juicy, layered and exuberant. This will offer a broad and flamboyant drinking window.

Violets, cassis, ripe black cherries, and graphite all emerge from the 2022 Pastourelle De Clerc Milon, a ripe, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and lively second wine that has tons to love. As with the Grand Vin, it's undeniably one of the best examples of this cuvée to date. It will keep for two decades if well stored.

The 2022 Pastorelle de Clerc Milon has an open-knit bouquet with black plum, cassis and light pencil shaving scents, with some blue fruit notes emerging with aeration. The palate is well balanced, juicy, ripe and rounded in texture. It feels more Merlot-driven when, in fact, it is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon. The warmth of the vintage shows through a little, giving it a sense of approachability. This can be drunk after one or two years in bottle.
