2020 Clos Fourtet Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé

Clos Fourtet is located right opposite 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 2020 Clos Fourtet is a blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged for 14-18 months in 50% new oak barrels, 48% second-year barrels and 2% in amphorae. The wine has a deep garnet purple color and emerges from the glass with ripe, expressive notes of crushed black plums, juicy blackcurrants and black cherry preserves, followed by hints of ground cloves, cinnamon stick, camphorsuckle and cedarwood. The 2020 Clos Fourtet is full bodied on the palate with fresh, vibrant dark fruits, framed by velvety tannins and lots of freshness, ending with great length.
