Description

A creamy and complex Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion

The estate
The main feature of Clos Fourtet, this Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, is that it is a clos. In a constant pursuit of excellence, Clos Fourtet and the Cuvelier family practice sustainable viticulture with respect for natural balances.

The vineyard
The 25-year-old vines are grown on 20 hectares of Clos Fourtet on clay-limestone soils typical of Saint-Émilion.

The vintage
The 2019 vintage experienced marked climatic episodes. Tempered heat by some rainy spells in 2019 produced very ripe Merlots and fresh Cabernets, whose Blend promises a marvel.

Vinification and ageing
Harvest from September 24 to October 10. Fermentation of whole berries. Small-volume thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Extraction by natural pigeage. Maceration for 22 to 30 days. Malolactic fermentation in vats and barrels. 14 to 18 months ageing in an underground cellar in French oak barrels. 50 % new barrels – 48 % one-wine barrels – 2 % jar.

Blend
Merlot (90 %), Cabernet Sauvignon (7 %), Cabernet Franc (3 %).
