Clos Fourtet是波爾多Saint-Emilion產區的著名頂級酒莊(1er Grand Cru Classé B)。本酒莊所在地在中世紀時稱為 “Camp Fourtet”，是負責保護Saint-Emilion的堡壘。這個莊園在18世紀逐漸變成著名的酒莊，然後在1868年改為現在的名字Clos Fourtet。在20世紀它曾經陸續為大酒商家族所擁有：先是Ginestet家族，然後是Lurton家族；不過在他們的經營下，本酒莊的表現只能說是中規中矩。2001年現在的莊主Philippe Cuvelier買下本酒莊，並且請到極有名的Stéphane Derenoncourt來擔任釀酒顧問，Derenoncourt同時也是Pavie Macquin、Canon La Gaffelière、Clos de L'Oratoire、La Gaffelière、Beauséjour Duffau 、Rol Valentin、Smith Haut Lafitte、Les Carmes Haut Brion、Prieuré Lichine等眾多頂尖酒莊的釀酒師或釀酒顧問；在他的指導之下，酒質很明顯地有突飛猛進的進步，2009年份甚至獲得Robert Parker給予100滿分的評價！
The 2014 Clos Fourtet has developed a very perfumed bouquet with pure black cherry, raspberry and mineral aromas that seem very precise and relatively sophisticated compared to its Saint Emilion peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red cherry and cranberry fruit, the tannins both fine but firm. This is a supremely well-focused Clos Fourtet, perhaps one that shows more restraint than previous vintages, yet there is genuine focus and intensity towards the almost piercing finish with vivid black, mineral-soaked fruit. This is a superb Clos Fourtet that transcends the promise from barrel.
