Clos Fourtet 1er Grands Crus Classés Saint Emilion Saint-Emilion, 2023

Clos Fourtet is one of Saint-Émilion’s most respected names, offering a Grand Cru Classé wine with real depth, precision, and elegance. Sourced from a historic plateau estate in Bordeaux, the 2023 vintage reflects the château’s reputation for refined Merlot-driven wines with impressive structure and freshness.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Clos Fourtet 2023 is typically marked by a deep, dark color and a polished, concentrated profile. Expect aromas of black cherry, plum, violets, graphite, and subtle oak spice, with a palate that balances ripe fruit, fine tannins, and a supple, mineral-driven finish. The wine’s style suggests excellent aging potential, with the structure and balance to evolve beautifully over the coming years. While it can be enjoyed in youth for its fruit purity and finesse, additional bottle age will likely reveal greater complexity and depth.

Production
Clos Fourtet comes from a privileged Saint-Émilion terroir, with vineyard parcels situated on limestone-rich soils that help shape the wine’s freshness, minerality, and tension. The estate is known for careful vineyard management and selective harvesting to capture optimal ripeness. Vinification is carried out with precision to preserve fruit character and terroir expression, typically involving plot-by-plot selection and controlled fermentation, followed by maturation in oak to add complexity and structure without overpowering the wine’s natural elegance.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, and mushroom-based dishes. Serve at 16–18°C for the best expression, and consider decanting for about 1 hour if opening young to allow the wine to fully раскрып its aromas and texture.
