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!
Attractive aromas of wild berries, pencil shavings, vine smoke, black truffle and violets introduce the 2019 Clos Fourtet, a medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless wine with a concentrated core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, saline finish. Elegant and complete, this is a brilliant wine from this 19-hectare vineyard situated on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, just outside the village, which has been on a qualitative roll since the 2001 vintage.
