I studied agronomy and oenology and I chose the engineering school in Toulouse, to discover a new region, after my preparatory classes in Montaigne (Bordeaux). Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy, director of the properties and technical manager of the three Bordeaux ch\u00e2teaux (Ch\u00e2teaux Mouton Rothschild, Clerc Milon and d&#8217;Armailhac) recruited me more than two years ago. Jean-Emmanuel was the director of Clerc Milon for 12 years, and since 2009 Ch\u00e2teau Clerc Milon and Ch\u00e2teau d&#8217;Armailhac have had their own technical entity. Each Ch\u00e2teau has its own management team, its cellar master and its vineyard manager. For Clerc Milon, I am working with Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Faure, the cellar master, and Richard Martin, our vineyard manager, who is a native of the region, both of whom arrived in 2009. Richard was born in M\u00e9doc, he has &#8220;green hands&#8221;, and is in love with our terroir, which he accompanies daily. The four of us are at the helm of the estate and I am lucky to be surrounded by such competent and passionate people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Gerda: <\/span><\/strong><strong><em>What are the main challenges you personally face, in the practice of your work?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><strong>Caroline Artaud<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I have always enjoyed working in a family estate with a long-term vision. The challenge at Clerc Milon is even more important: to live up to the expectations of the Rothschild family, which has such a rich history, and where each member has his or her own personality.\u00a0I must be able to meet their expectations and build for the next generation, in order to continue the dreams of this visionary family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">On the one hand, the notion of time is different and it is felt in the daily management of the estate. This is reflected in our exchanges and in the decisions to be taken on future plantations or technical choices, which must have a long-term impact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">On the other hand, demands are important and this is understandable, there is a strong and historical integration of the family in Pauillac, it is fascinating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Our challenge is to make this exceptional terroir understood and known and to work our wine like a diamond. Indeed, we have a medium size vineyard (41 hectares in production), with very old vines (47 years old on average) and we are between two of Pauillac&#8217;s first classified growths: Ch\u00e2teau Mouton Rothschild and Lafite Rothschild. Our strength is that we have the human and technical resources to work in the best possible conditions and to reveal the best potential of this terroir.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7698 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/domaine-2-1.png\" alt='' width=\"438\" height=\"433\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7701 \" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/domaine-1-1.png\" alt='' width=\"418\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Harvest 2021<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Gerda: <em>Do you have a memory to share of your last harvest?<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><strong>Caroline Artaud<\/strong>: 2021 was a winemaker&#8217;s year and I&#8217;m glad I was able to get a feel for the vineyard a year before! It is a vintage of precision. At harvest time the vineyard was healthy and there is exceptional know-how from the team, with solidarity. Thanks to this very favorable environment, 2021 is a good memory. Now we are focused on 2022!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Ch\u00e2teau Clerc Milon today and tomorrow<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Gerda: <em>How do your wines stand out, and are unique?<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><strong>Caroline Artaud<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">What I like is the location of this vineyard: it looks out over the Gironde. It is unique because it is only 400 meters from this estuary. We have slopes that go down from 23 to 7 meters, with a favorable orientation of the vines: south and south-east and of course towards the Gironde. This considerable mass of water is a regulator bringing coolness during hot periods and vice versa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We have 5 grape varieties with a small touch of Carmen\u00e8re planted in 1947: 3500 vines exactly. We integrate it very regularly in the great wine of Clerc Milon. It gives a spicy and floral touch, reminiscent of Cabernet Sauvignon but Carmen\u00e8re is more tannic. The vineyard has an average age of 47 years with 15 hectares planted between 1900 and 1950!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">As for your question&#8230;.. let&#8217;s taste the 2020 vintage together! Ch\u00e2teau Clerc Milon 2020 has a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36.5% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 0.5% Carmen\u00e8re. It has complex aromas of red and black fruits from the beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon on deep gravel. The floral side is also found thanks to the Cabernet Franc planted on the clay on the edge of the estuary. The carmen\u00e8re touch brings violet. But how beautiful it is! On the palate, the wine has a lot of flesh, but it is a refined density with present and precise tannins. The wine has aged 55% in new barrels. The last sip is like a book that doesn&#8217;t leave you indifferent, you still think about it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Gerda:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Clerc Milon\u00a0has a true identity that can be recognized in a blind tasting: finesse, and elegance while keeping a natural and floral richness.\u00a0This wine gave me a little thrill because it is &#8230;&#8230; magnificent!!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">G<\/span>: What is an exceptional wine for you?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>CA<\/strong>: It is a wine that gives you emotion and that will mark you for life (<em>laughing<\/em>). That&#8217;s what happened to you just now, when you got goosebumps! An exceptional wine, an unforgettable moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">G<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span>Which of your recent accomplishments would you like to share with your customers?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>CA<\/strong>:\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Every day we continue the work started 50 years ago by the Rothschild family when they acquired the property. Each generation has made its own contribution. The Baron did a lot for the vineyard. He had vines pulled up, replanted and restructured the property. We have inherited his know-how. The Baroness brought the vat room with the installation of the grape harvest reception, but also the barrel cellar and a reception room. His children continue to make the wines shine and to write Ch\u00e2teau Clerc Milon history, notably with the creation of Pastourelle de Clerc Milon in 2016 with the first 2009 vintage put on the market. But also agro-ecological projects are implemented, introducing more agroforestry around the Ch\u00e2teau, for example with a 600 m2 vegetable garden, beehives and planting trees. Natural life is all around!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Each bottle of the 2020 vintage is adorned with a special anniversary label with 50 stars forming an arc around two gold and pearl dancers. Inspired by the Commedia dell&#8217;Arte, these characters are a reproduction of a piece of silverware that belonged to Empress Catherine of Russia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">G<\/span>: What future project are you currently working on?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>CA:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We are constantly looking for the best and we work on a project-by-project basis, of which I can mention three in particular:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We are continuing the work of restructuring the vineyard that we started a few years ago. 20 hectares of vines have been restructured, and we are starting the second phase which will be accompanied by a complete study of the terroir, the slopes and the soil (mapping).\u00a0We are working on this project with Xavier Chon\u00e9 who is not only an agricultural engineer, but also a historian. He has been working with us since 2014.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We have another very big project, which is to extend and redo our technical winegrowing infrastructures, to improve the quality and safety of workers and vines. We are going to automate everything and add technology, which in the long term will allow us to be even more precise and comfortable in our work. We have to anticipate in order to live up to our ambitions for the future. We started in mid-July, and our objective is to have everything ready for 2023 harvest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">On the winemaking side, concerning the maturation, we have tested 3 amphorae of 350 liters from two different models for the first time on the Pastourelle 2021 wine. The amphorae bring freshness, purity and fruit, while preserving the structure. They refine the tannins and bring a delicate, gourmet sweetness and brightness. We are really satisfied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I would like to make a clarification concerning the selection of Pastourelle, which is done during blind tastings in the presence of our consultant Eric Boissenot. Nothing is pre-decided. It can happen that very old vines are put into Pastourelle. With each vintage, we give each parcel its chance to be in Clerc Milon or Pastourelle blend. We do a very precise job, guided only by the sensation of tasting. Even if the house know-how is strong, Eric brings us a lot. He has real respect for the identity of the wine, he listens a lot and he insists that the teams understand this choice of blend. He knows how to guide them towards an idea, a choice. He is a great man!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7704 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/131212_CM_225-avec-nv-logo-credit-photo-Alain-Benoit-deepix-Mathieu-Anglada-saison-dor-2-scaled.jpg\" alt='' width=\"383\" height=\"255\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7707\" src=\"https:\/\/insidelaplace.rcassocies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cuvier-CM_Julie-Rey-scaled.jpg\" alt='' width=\"371\" height=\"247\" \/><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">G<\/span>: How far along are your properties in the &#8220;green transition&#8221;?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>CA<\/strong>:\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">We have created a job and recruited an agro-ecology development manager, L\u00e9a Manceau.
