Clos Fourtet is located right in front of the large church of Saint-Emilion. The terroir consists of a clay-loam soil with a lot of lime. Harvesting is done manually and as with all large houses, the first selection takes place in the vineyard. The Clos Fourtet is a blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Franc and has been aged for 16 months in 60% new and 40% second year French oak barriques.
The Clos Fourtet is deep garnet purple, the Clos Fourtet 2018 is still youthful in its beginnings but with time it opens up with notes of blackberries, plums and wild blueberries plus notes of forest floor, lavender, baking herbs and potpourri. The palate is full-bodied and has an amazing texture of soft, soft tannins and a lot of freshness that ends long and fragrant with berries/spices and a bit of minerality.
The 2018 vintage is one of the highest rated vintages with 95-97 Parker points.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2018 Clos Fourtet toont diepe bramen, pruimen en wilde bosbessen naast nuances van lavendel, bosbodem, bakkruiden en een subtiele mineraliteit, met een volle textuur, soepele tannines en verfijnde eikeninvloeden. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij rund, lam en wild omdat de rijpe zwarte vruchten en het frisse zuurtje de rijke vleessmaken snijden, terwijl de zachte tannines en kruidigheid vet en umami moeiteloos dragen, ideaal voor feestelijke gerechten en terrasdiners. Kies voor geroosterd of gegrild vlees met een kruidige korst zoals côte de boeuf of lamsrack met rozemarijn, of langzaam gestoofd wild in donkere saus voor maximale harmonie. |

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Clos Fourtet is a little youthfully mute to begin. With coaxing, it opens out to notes of crushed blackberries, warm black plums and wild blueberries plus suggestions of forest floor, lavender, baking spices and potpourri. Full-bodied, the palate has an amazing texture of soft, plush tannins and oodles of freshness supporting the layer upon layer of berries and spices, finishing long and fragrant. Total time in barrel should run 16 months in 60% new and 40% one-year old barriques. The blend is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Franc.

Clos Fourtet owes its reputation to the Rulleau and Carles families, lords of Figeac, who acquired these vineyards in the 18th century with a special natural drainage. In 2001, Fourtet came into the possession of the Cuvelier family, who kept Fourtet's status as 1st Grand Cru Classé with great passion and investment. This noble 1st Grand Cru Classé is located right in front of the great church of Saint-Emilion, almost in the historic heart of the ancient town. The cellars of the walled vineyards (the Clos) consist of no less than three floors of corridors carved in the caves. Almost as impressive as the wine.
