01: Erstaunlich tiefe Farbe; sattes Violett. Direktes, geradliniges Kirschenbouquet, schwarzer Pfeffer und viel Brombeeren. Saftiger, unerhört fruchtiger Gaumen, eine splendide blau- und schwarzbeerige Fruchtpalette von opulentem Merlot aufweisend, druckvolles Finish. Hier wurde die Frucht vollständig eingefangen. Wird sich in jeder Phase optimal präsentieren. 18/20 2005 – 2016

The first offering in what turned out to be a remarkable decade for this property, the 2000 Clos Fourtet was the finest wine produced here in many years, but it was subsequently eclipsed by the 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2009. The dense plum/purple-tinged 2000 exhibits notes of wet rocks, camphor, blackberries, and cassis. Full-bodied with tremendous density, it appears to have shed much of its tannin, and is through its adolescent stage. It should continue to evolve effortlessly for another decade.

Ripe and thickly layered, with boysenberry and fig paste flavors taking the lead, pushed by some hefty ganache and black licorice notes. The finish has an ample roasted apple wood injection holding sway, though there's good underlying cut thanks to a buried chalky minerality. Still seems like this will rely more on extraction in the end.—Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). Drink now through 2023. 4,580 cases made. — JM

Château Clos Fourtet
Situato in posizione ideale, appena fuori dalle mura della città di Saint-Émilion, Château Clos Fourtet è una superstar perpetua di Bordeaux. I 20 ettari di vigneti, che svettano sui terreni argillosi dell'altopiano calcareo, sono piantati soprattutto a Merlot, con piccoli appezzamenti di Cabernet Sauvignon e Cabernet Franc. La tenuta deve il nome e la posizione elevata alla sua lunga storia. Nel Medioevo la proprietà era utilizzata come fortezza per proteggere la città, chiamata Clos Fourtet o "Camp Fourtet". All'inizio del secolo Philippe Cuvelier acquistò Clos Fourtet, promettendo di proseguire il percorso di qualità dei proprietari precedenti. Con la collaborazione dell'enologo Stéphane Derenoncourt, nello scorso decennio i vini sono diventati particolarmente potenti e sontuosi, aumentando la qualità anno dopo anno. Clos Fourtet, il Grand Vin, è un rosso concentrato affinato in botti di rovere nuove, un vino di Saint-Émilion raffinato e di alta classe. È una delle tenute più belle e tra i più grandi produttori della Sponda Destra, classificata come proprietà Premier Grand Cru Classé.
