Clos Fourtet 2018
Bordeaux - Saint-Émilion - 1er Cru Classé - Red Wine -Clos Fourtet 2018
Appellation : Saint Emilion
Classification : 1er Grand Cru Classé A
Clos Fourtet, Saint-Emilion premier grand cru Classé, is located in the heart of the village of Saint Emilion on the plateau which dominates the vineyard.
The area of 20 hectares of vines is surrounded by low walls which give this bucolic aspect to the classified growths located on this plateau of Saint-Émilion.
Owned since 2001 by the Cuvelier family, Clos Fourtet confirms its place as Premier Cru Classé in 2012 thanks to their passionate work, the estate is currently in conversion to biodynamics.
Fruit of a blend of Merlot (90%), Cabernet Sauvignon (7%) and Cabernet Franc (3%),
Clos Fourtet 2018 is a very great wine with prestigious critics ratings.
The nose is of great aromatic intensity dominated by black fruits. On the palate, the wine is long, fat and silky with dense tannins. The finish is persistent.
2018 Vintage reviews:
Wine Advocate : 95-97/100
Wine Spectator : 96-99/100
"Dark plum and boysenberry fruit is laced with tobacco and chalk notes, while the fleshy grip slowly builds through the finish. This is seriously long, and though the fruit is gorgeous, the minerality steals the show in the end"
J. Suckling : 96-97/100
"This is one of the best wines I have had from here. Full-bodied yet focused and super dynamic. Tight and linear with fantastic length and energy at the end. Exciting."
Bettane et Desseauve : 17-17,5/20
"De l'envergure et beaucoup de fraîcheur pour ce premier encore dans ses langes, on sent une trame assurée, une persistance aromatique qui va s'affiner au fil des mois pour engendrer le grand style truffier de la propriété."
