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！
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Clos Fourtet (a blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Franc) opens with wonderfully pure, intense black fruit notes of ripe blackberries, crushed black cherries and warm plums, leading to suggestions of pencil lead, clove oil, black olives and aniseed. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of muscular black fruits, delivering compelling vivacity and tension, framed by velvety tannins and finishing epically long and perfumed. The intense, bright, energetic fruit on this 2018 has been impeccably preserved. Stunning!
