The estate's location atop the clay-limestone plateau, with its deep underground cellars, is key to crafting a claret of exceptional polish and finesse. The Cuvelier family's commitment to precision viticulture ensures a wine that truly reflects its outstanding terroir.<\/p>\n<h2>Tasting Notes: Elegance Meets Power<\/h2>\n<p>This Merlot-dominant Right Bank blend (typically 86% Merlot) is celebrated for its purity of flavour and structure. The bouquet is elegant, offering layers of dark cherry, baked plums, and violet, with subtle hints of cedar and graphite from the oak ageing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>**On the Finish:** The tannins are smooth yet firm, providing a wonderful framework for the dense fruit core. A long, elegant, and mineral-driven finish (a 'crayeuse' salinity) is its hallmark, demonstrating the perfect harmony between richness and freshness.<\/li>\n<li>**A Wine to Savour:** Clos Fourtet is a wine that rewards patience, evolving beautifully in the bottle to reveal tertiary notes of truffle, leather, and cigar box.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Perfect Claret Service<\/h2>\n<p>As a classic claret, Clos Fourtet should be served at cellar temperature (around 16\u00b0C). We recommend decanting older bottles briefly to remove sediment, while younger vintages benefit from 2-3 hours in a decanter to soften and open up.<\/p>\n<p>Saint-\u00c9milion Grand Cru 2017<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/winetorres.com\/en\/?s=Clos%20Fourtet&#038;post_type=product\">Find other wines from this producer.<\/a><br \/>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.closfourtet.com\/%20;%20https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Clos_Fourtet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visit the official website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9 B de Saint-\u00c9milion, le Clos Fourtet est un Grand Vin Rouge domin\u00e9 par le Merlot. \u00c9lev\u00e9 sur le plateau calcaire, il offre une alliance magistrale de finesse, de concentration et d&#8217;une fra\u00eecheur saline distinctive.
