Tasting Notes
In the glass, Clos Fourtet 2022 is typically deeply colored and concentrated, with the kind of vivid depth you expect from a top Saint-Émilion vintage. The nose is likely to be layered and refined, offering dark berries, plum, floral tones, graphite, and subtle spice, with hints of cedar and fresh earth adding complexity. On the palate, it should feel full-bodied yet beautifully polished, with ripe tannins, vibrant freshness, and a long, structured finish. The magnum format will help preserve its youthful energy and extend its development in bottle, making it a wine with excellent aging potential over many years.

Production
Clos Fourtet’s vineyards sit on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, where the chalky, mineral-rich terroir brings freshness, tension, and definition to the wine. The estate benefits from carefully managed vineyards and selective harvesting, with grapes picked at optimal ripeness to preserve both concentration and balance. Vinification is typically carried out with precision to emphasize purity of fruit, structure, and the distinctive mineral character of the site.

Food & Serving
This is a wine that pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck, game birds, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young, especially in magnum, to allow the wine to fully open and show its aromatic complexity.
