Clos Fourtet is an excellent estate in St-Émilion and is bestowed with the second highest classification in the appellation of Premier Grand Cru Classé (B). 2016 was an absolutely exceptional vintage in Bordeaux and this is a brilliant release composed of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Incredibly lush and hedonistic, this is dangerously approachable already but will be at its best after a period of further cellaring.

The 2016 Clos Fourtet was picked October 3 to 16 at 28 hl/ha. It is laden with fruit on the nose—so much concentration. Black and red fruit commingle like the 2010, but this is more floral and precise. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, so refined and focused, fresh and surprisingly classic in style. Maybe it is just beginning to shut down towards the finish, but as I wrote before, this has a long future ahead. Tasted at the Clos Fourtet vertical in April 2023. Neal Martin12th May 2025
