Punteggi dei critici
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
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.
