Dunkles, tiefes Granat, lila Reflexe. Aromatisches Bouquet, Zedernholznoten. Bleifstiftmine, blaubeerige Frucht, recht nobel und delikat. Fester Gaumen, gut stützende Tannin-Säurestruktur, noch etwas vordergründig, kann aber zu der nächsten Kategorie aufschliessen, wenn er seine Versprechen einhält. beginnen (2014 - 2028)

A blend of 80% Merlot and the rest equally split between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this wine has a dense purple color and a beautifully sweet nose of blackberry and blueberry fruits intermixed with acacia flowers, charcoal, and some subtle oak. The wine is nicely textured, medium-bodied, and very concentrated for a 2006 St.-Emilion, with a certain degree of opulence and sucrosite. This is a beauty, with moderate tannins in the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2027. If you haven?t gotten on the Clos Fourtet bandwagon, now is the time, as demand will certainly increase. After the prodigious 2005 and 2003, it is more difficult to get excited over what proprietor Philippe Cuvelier and his brilliant vineyard manager Tony Ballu, the producer of Pierre La Lune, have done, but this is a very strong effort. About 3,000 cases are made from this picture-postcard, fabulous vineyard on the deep limestone plateau just adjacent to the walls as well as the town of St.-Emilion.

Crushed blackberry, dark chocolate and spices on the nose follow through to a full body, with very soft tannins that turn silky and refined. Fresh, rich and racy. Better than previously reviewed. Best after 2013. 3,330 cases made. ?JS

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.
