Wine Spectator 89-91
Each year, Château Milon—owned by the Bouyer family—is produced from vineyards located at the foot of the hillside in the northern part of the appellation, on sandy-clay soil. This exceptional 2005 vintage reveals the great promise of this cru. Its deep red color gives way to a nose of ripe fruit, baked fruit, and spices. A supple and balanced wine with roundness and fruitiness, achieved through strict control of yields and 13 months of barrel aging. A fine example of the style!
