Clos Fourtet 1er Grands Crus Classés Saint Emilion Saint-Emilion, 2020

Clos Fourtet 2020 is a standout Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that combines concentration, finesse, and the polished style Bordeaux lovers seek in a top-right-bank red. Produced at one of the appellation’s historic estates, it offers the depth and structure expected of a great vintage, while remaining beautifully refined and expressive.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby to garnet color with impressive clarity and density. The nose is layered and inviting, with dark berries, plum, graphite, violets, cedar, and subtle spice, often lifted by a fine mineral edge. On the palate, Clos Fourtet 2020 is usually rich and structured, yet elegant, with ripe black fruit, fresh acidity, silky tannins, and a long, savoury finish. It has the balance and concentration to develop further over time, and should reward cellaring for many years.

Production
Clos Fourtet comes from prized limestone and clay-limestone soils on the Saint-Émilion plateau, a terroir known for bringing freshness, precision, and depth to the wines. The fruit is typically harvested by hand, with careful parcel selection to preserve the character of the estate’s finest plots, and vinified with a focus on purity, structure, and gentle extraction.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, mushroom dishes, and refined game preparations. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for about 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and texture to open fully.

Producer
Clos Fourtet is one of Saint-Émilion’s most respected historic estates and is recognized as a Premier Grand Cru Classé. Its reputation has been built on the estate’s exceptional terroir, consistent quality, and a style that balances power with elegance, making it a benchmark producer on Bordeaux’s Right Bank.
