Clos Fourtet is a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Émilion, a status that was reconfirmed in the 2022 classification. The 18.5-hectare vineyard is planted mostly to Merlot [85%], with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc on clay soils over limestone. While the 2020 vintage may require some additional time to fully develop and reveal its true character, it holds immense promise for the future.

Vinous
The 2020 Clos Fourtet has a very well-defined bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, melted dark chocolate and a touch of mocha. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry and fine balance. It's a little more muscular than its peers, with a very structured finish. More backward than expected (hence the lower score in this blind tasting), this needs four or five years before it entertains drinkability. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.Neal Martin12th November 2024
