Clos Fourtet 1er Grands Crus Classés Saint Emilion Saint-Emilion, 2021

Clos Fourtet 2021 is a refined Saint-Émilion from one of the appellation’s most respected Premier Grand Cru Classé estates, offering the depth and elegance Bordeaux lovers look for. This vintage reflects the estate’s limestone-driven character and classic Right Bank style, with a balance of precision, freshness, and age-worthy structure.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby hue with vibrant purple reflections. Aromatically, it leans toward black cherry, plum, crushed violets, graphite, and subtle cedar, with a mineral edge that hints at the estate’s limestone soils. On the palate, the wine is precise and concentrated, combining ripe dark fruit with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, poised finish. It is a wine built for cellaring and should continue to develop complexity over the next 10–15 years, and likely longer in a good cellar.

Production
Clos Fourtet is located on Saint-Émilion’s prized limestone plateau, where the terroir naturally brings freshness, tension, and finesse to the wines. The 2021 vintage was shaped by careful vineyard work and selective harvesting to ensure optimal ripeness. Vinification is typically carried out with a focus on preserving purity of fruit and the estate’s signature mineral structure, followed by élevage in oak to add texture and complexity without overpowering the wine’s elegance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, duck breast, beef fillet, mushroom dishes, and truffle-based cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help the wine open up and soften its tannins.
