Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Full body for the year, intense, more rounded tannins than d’Armailhac, and slightly less influenced by Merlot than usual. | 93

Michael Schuster | Freshly sweet and focused bouquet, pure cassis; a beautiful balance, full, fresh, very finely tannic; sweet, linear, focused, long, gently energetic, fine mid-palate length, a lovely richness of flavor, and notably fine-grained in texture; mouth-filling, effortless, stylish, and with excellent length. Quite lovely Clerc Milon. 2026–40+. | 92–93
