Description

For centuries, the ancient 'Camp Fortet' (small fort) with its modest profile has overlooked the historic town of Saint-Émilion, peacefully surveying it in times of prosperity, protecting it in times of war.

The 20-hectare vineyard forms a single plot, planted upon the highest slopes of Western Saint-Émilion. Constructed from the very rock upon which it stands, the chateau and its surrounding wall (hence 'clos') are intimate and unassuming.

Ever since the beginning of the classification in 1956, Clos Fourtet has been a member of the elite 'Premiers Grands Crus Classés' of Saint-Émilion.

Tasting

Clos Fourtet displays a deep, purple-ruby colour and reveals amazing aromatic purity in which blueberry and cherry aromas mingle with subtle nuances of violets and liquorice. This unctuous and fleshy wine possesses a sleek mouth-feel with a silky, fine-grained tannic texture which integrates harmoniously with the oak. A lingering finish brings with it a new layer of ripe fruit and sweet saline notes.
