					<description><![CDATA[Tied to the Seigneuries of Lafite and Mouton (future First Classified Growths belonging to two different branches of the Rothschild family), Château Clerc Milon derives its name from its historic owners, the Clerc family, who acquired it when it was sold as a national asset after the French Revolution.

Living testimony to the considerable improvements in quality achieved at the property since the arrival of Baron Philippe and his descendants, Château Clerc Milon now has a second wine. Pastourelle de Clerc Milon has joined the dance and already accomplished its first very confident steps in the company of fine Pauillac wines. Its name comes from a traditional dance, the pastourelle, which evokes a knight’s romantic encounter with a shepherdess: the name echoes the pair of dancers that adorn the label of the Grand Vin. Made of gold, enamel and pearls, this precious miniature from the Museum of Wine in Art at Château Mouton Rothschild belonged to Catherine II, the empress of Russia, and is inspired by characters of the Commedia dell’Arte. Baroness Philippine de Rothschild chose it as the Clerc Milon emblem because of her love of the theatre.

The particular attraction of Pastourelle de Clerc Milon, a smooth and full-bodied wine with a powerful, opulent finish, especially in this 2016, lies in the rich elegance of its aromas and flavours.

					<description><![CDATA[Château d’Armailhac is not only a beautiful setting but also a vibrant working and meeting place for the three Pauillac estates and their beating heart.
A place that reflects the identity of Château d’Armailhac, a combination of timelessness, local roots and elegant sobriety. The owners wanted to create buildings that would look as though they had always been there. As a result, Château d'Armailhac blends seamlessly into the Pauillac winegrowing landscape.

Typically for a Pauillac wine, Cabernets predominate in the blend. However, the relatively high proportion of Cabernet Franc is a hallmark of Château d’Armailhac. The wine is defined by a kind of elegant classicism, discernible whatever the vintage.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

					<description><![CDATA[A Cru Bourgeois located in the heart of the Médoc, Château Artigues has been owned by the Meffre family since 1958. Today, Claude Meffre leads the estate, after a career in journalism.

The 30-hectare vineyard, near the hamlet of Artigues, sits on silico-gravel and Garonne gravel soils. Interestingly, the small Château Artigues borders some famous estates classified as “cru classé” – so it offers the typical Pauillac character at a much more affordable price.

					<description><![CDATA[Like all the greatest wines of the appellation, Château Pédesclaux has the complexity that reflects the terroir it springs from. On this mosaic of soils, the clays convey power while the gravels express pure elegance. Pédesclaux embodies the depth that is the quintessence of Pauillac, balanced by a unique sensuality With each vintage, the painstaking work on these excellent plots pays off, while the revolutionary equipment in the winery enables the wine to develop its own unique personality. Across the years, a narrative arc has become visible: a scent special to this terroir that is a blend of blackcurrant, violet and cigar box. Sometimes denser and more tropical, at other times more ethereal, always maintaining the balance between powerful aromas and the silky delicacy of the tannins, Château Pédesclaux also boasts a formidable cellaring potential – another key feature of the great Pauillac terroirs.

					<description><![CDATA[5th Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac, Château Pontet-Canet has experienced an irresistible rise which has made it one of the most emblematic brands of the Médoc. Led by Justine and Alfred Tesseron, Château Pontet-Canet has established itself as one of the finest references on the left bank of Bordeaux.

The 2017 vintage was marked by an episode of frost at the end of April, which had little impact on the vineyard due to the protective influence of the Gironde estuary. The growing cycle took place under favorable climatic conditions, including flowering in mid-May and veraison at the beginning of July. Despite some rain during September, the health condition is perfect and the grapes harvested at full maturity are of high quality.

For more info, visit <strong>Château Pontet-Canet</strong> <a href="https://www.pontet-canet.com/">website</a>.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

					<description><![CDATA[Three large plots in the best parts of Pauillac form the vineyard of this classified growth, an unusual configuration and a direct inheritance from the estate’s founder, Pierre Ducasse, an eminent lawyer. In the 18th century he gave a single name to a fine vineyard holding, which was put together through inheritance and purchases. When he died in 1797, his son, Pierre, inherited a 60-hectare exploitation, named Ducasse-Grand-Puy-Artigues-Arnaud, of which two third were planted with vines. The estate was classified in 1855, under the name of Artigues Arnaud.

L'Héritier de Grand Puy Ducasse is the second wine of Château Grand-Puy Ducasse. A distinguished red wine that embodies the classic elegance of the Pauillac AOC with rich flavors and refined tannins.

For more info, visit <strong>Château Grand-Puy Ducasse</strong> <a href="www.grandpuyducasse.fr">website</a>.

					<description><![CDATA[At the gates of Pauillac, Château Lynch-Bages now represents a symbolic history of the Medoc. Born in 1691 by the hand of John Lynch, an Irish nobleman in exile, the winery was implemented by John's son, Thomas Lynch, who managed the company with wisdom and foresight from 1749 to 1824, producing excellent wines initially known as " Cru de Lynch ”, later classified as Grand Cru at the Paris Exposition of 1855.
Having become the property of the Cazes family in 1939 and led by the outstanding Jean-Michel Cazes since 2007, Château Lynch-Bages' style has established itself, and this reflects Pauillac's identity with an extraordinary depth and richness, thanks above all to Jean-Michel Cazes.

					<description><![CDATA[Three large plots in the best parts of Pauillac form the vineyard of this classified growth, an unusual configuration and a direct inheritance from the estate’s founder, Pierre Ducasse, an eminent lawyer. In the 18th century he gave a single name to a fine vineyard holding, which was put together through inheritance and purchases. When he died in 1797, his son, Pierre, inherited a 60-hectare exploitation, named Ducasse-Grand-Puy-Artigues-Arnaud, of which two third were planted with vines. The estate was classified in 1855, under the name of Artigues Arnaud.
Thanks to impeccable harvesting and tailor-made winemaking, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot produced a wine renowned for its aromatic complexity, glorious structure and ageing capacity, all true to the classic Pauillac style.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 13.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Intense and brilliant burgundy red color.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
Although the bouquet is less expressive than the color, it is no less interesting with its notes of red fruits and spices on a melted wood. A touch of leather recalls the place of Merlot in the blend.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Ample on the attack, the palate is supported by still firm and lively tannins that call for aging.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
18 months ageing in French oak barrels.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Best served with roasted and grilled meats, duck breast, lamb and salads.</p>
<p><strong>READINESS FOR DRINKING</strong><br />
Ideal between 2022 and 2033.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is one of the second wines of the property. Created since the 2012 vintage, it has a pure and direct character.
The grapes which make up this wine's blend come primarily from gravelly plots of land near the Gironde estuary, a good environment for Cabernet-Sauvignon.
Les Griffons offers a vigorous and fresh tasting experience, full-bodied and clean, overflowing with energy.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
