{"product_id":"chateau-clerc-milon-pauillac-2006-750ml","title":"Chateau Clerc-Milon, Pauillac, 2006 (Ex Negociant)","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Clerc-Milon sits on the Mousset plateau in northern Pauillac, its 41 hectares of vines neighboring two First Growths: Mouton Rothschild and Lafite Rothschild. The estate was classified Fifth Growth in 1855 and languished until Baron Philippe de Rothschild acquired it in 1970 for one million francs. Today it's managed by the next generation of Rothschilds and benefits from the same meticulous attention as its famous siblings. The blend is distinctive: alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Clerc-Milon maintains one of Bordeaux's largest plantings of Carmenère, which contributes subtle floral notes. The 2006 vintage was uneven across Bordeaux, but Pauillac proved the most consistent appellation that year. Nearly two decades on, the tannins have resolved into something supple yet structured. \"Ex Négociant\" indicates this bottle was sourced through a Bordeaux merchant rather than directly from the château—a common provenance for mature wines. Drinking beautifully now through 2030.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barriere Freres [MHW] [BRRFR]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45340182347833,"sku":"NYC-MHW] [BRRFR-`CCMP2006`-011226-3","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Clerc-Milon-Pauillac-2006-Ex-Negociant-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1768402423","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-clerc-milon-pauillac-2006-750ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
