97 Vinous
The 2019 Clos Fourtet is positively stellar, just as it was from barrel. It presents a beguiling mix of dense, plush fruit packed into a classically structure frame. The first impression is one of opulence, until the minerality of Saint-Émilion's famed plateau begins to emerge. Black cherry, plum, leather, exotic spice, licorice and blood orange build into the statuesque, explosive finish. The 2019 is a magnificent effort from the Cuvelier family and long time consulting winemaker Stephane Derenoncourt. -- Antonio Galloni

Lots of purple fruit with white pepper and crushed stones in the nose. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and poised with a very chalky and salty undertone to the purple fruit. Flavorful finish. Linear and long. Try after 2026.

There's ample dark cherry, plum and boysenberry compote flavors in this red, along with a rare hint of brightness for the vintage. Licorice root and applewood accents fill in through the finish, while an underlying chalky minerality gives this additional form as well. Very solid. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2038. —J.M.

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.
