95 Robert Parker
The 2009 Clos Fourtet is medium to deep garnet colored and opens on a medicinal/Band-Aid note, giving way to appealing baked red and black fruit notes with touches of dried herbs, tree bark, chargrill and a ferrous waft. The palate is full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and plenty of muscular fruit, finishing earthy and just a little hard. <br/>
95 Vinous
Neal Martin: The 2009 Clos Fourtet has a generous and opulent bouquet with red cherries, kirsch, fig and light mocha aromas that gently unfold, retaining admirable definition and poise. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, good structure. A more masculine, serious finish exerts impressive control. This is a classy Saint-Émilion with plenty of ageing potential. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Feines, süssbeeriges Bouquet, Himbeeren und Kirschen, milchiger Schimmer darüber. Im Gaumen mit schönem Stoff und eleganten Tanninen, Milchkaffeetouch, gut balanciert aber trotz dessen angezeigten Grösse irgendwie unspektakulär. Die Finessen und die Klasse sind aber da.<br/><br/>warten (2015 - 2034)

Tons of black fruit, plenty of smoke and some balsamic character make a dramatic statement on the nose. On the palate there's rather sweet fruit at the front, then major tannins come through at the finish that still need time to fully resolve. Better after 2022.
93 Wine Spectator
Rather ripe, but nicely framed by singed apple wood, which keeps the core of damson plum, black currant and black cherry flavors at bay for now. Licorice root and black tea notes undercut the finish, which is on the grippy side. This opens steadily in the glass, too. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2014 through 2027. 3,750 cases made. –JM

Château Clos Fourtet
Fort d’un emplacement privilégié, aux portes de Saint-Emilion, le Château Clos Fourtet s’érige en vedette invétérée de Bordeaux. Du haut de son terroir argileux sur le plateau calcaire, le vignoble de 20 hectares fait la part belle au merlot, abritant aussi de plus petites parcelles de cabernet-sauvignon et de cabernet franc. Le nom du domaine et sa situation sur les hauteurs s’expliquent par son long passé. La propriété a servi de château fort au Moyen Age, protégeant ainsi la ville. Il se nommait alors le « Camp Fourtet » ou Clos Fourtet. Au début du siècle, Philippe Cuvelier a racheté le domaine, promettant alors de suivre la voie tracée par les anciens propriétaires, animés par une volonté qualitative. Sous l’impulsion de l’œnologue conseil Stéphane Derenoncourt, les vins se sont montrés particulièrement puissants et somptueux au cours de la dernière décennie, la qualité progressant au fil des millésimes. Le grand vin, le Clos Fourtet, est un vin rouge à l’extraction dense et au boisé neuf, illustration véritablement raffinée d’un grand Saint-Emilion. De par son implantation idéale, ce Premier Grand Cru Classé est également considéré comme l’une des meilleures propriétés de la Rive Droite.
