In 1970, Baron Philippe de Rothschild acquired Château Clerc Milon which had been sadly neglected. Teams came in from Château Mouton Rothschild; they replanted and improved the vineyards, a new cuvier was built and many other technical improvements were made, resulting in the production of excellent wine. Château Clerc Milon has become one of the most sought-after crus from the Médoc region, producing sumptuous wines with great nobility that rival the very best. The label on Château Clerc Milon wines depicts a pair of dancing buffoons made of precious stones by a German goldsmith in the early 1700’s and now in the Museum of Wine in Art at Château Mouton Rothschild.
