Description

Clos Fourtet is located directly opposite the large church of Saint-Emilion. The terroir consists of a clay-loam soil with a lot of limestone. The harvest is manual and, as with all great houses, the first selection already 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 comes out of 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 plenty of freshness, finishing with great length.
