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!
This is another brilliant offering from Philippe Cuvelier, who has totally revolutionized the quality of this famous estate. The 2011 Clos Fourtet exhibits a dense blue/purple color as well as beautiful notes of creme de cassis, blueberries and raspberries, a complete as well as layered mid-palate, sweet tannin, good acidity and a charming personality. This is a highly successful effort for the vintage. Consume it over the next 10-12 years.
