A sleek, lean cat, with distilled currant and raspberry fruit that races from start to finish, maintaining tension throughout thanks to a riveting chalky spine. A light floral hint hangs in the background. Should develop into a perfumy beauty with time. Best from 2022 through 2035.—J.M

The 2014 Clos Fourtet has developed a very perfumed bouquet with pure black cherry, raspberry and mineral aromas that seem very precise and relatively sophisticated compared to its Saint Emilion peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red cherry and cranberry fruit, the tannins both fine but firm. This is a supremely well-focused Clos Fourtet, perhaps one that shows more restraint than previous vintages, yet there is genuine focus and intensity towards the almost piercing finish with vivid black, mineral-soaked fruit. This is a superb Clos Fourtet that transcends the promise from barrel.<br/>

The richness and decadence of this are so pretty. Medium to full body and firm and silky tannins. Juicy and long. Flavorful. Needs time to soften. Austerity will turn to great beauty. Try in 2020.

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Kühler fruchtig-floraler Ansatz, rote Kirschen und Rosenduft. Im Gaumen bleibt der Wein rotbeerig und eigentlich ziemlich normal. Und genau das reicht halt nicht aus, um seinem Namen und seinem Status gerechnet zu werden. Hier war ich doch ziemlich enttäuscht! Ein anderes Muster bei der grossen Saint- Emilion-Verkostung auf dem Weingut selbst war dann dichter, hatte aber auch diese strengen, gerbigen Noten im sich hart anfühlenden Finale. 17/20 2021 – 2038

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.
