Clos Fourtet 2022

Bordeaux - Saint-Émilion - 1er Cru Classé - Red Wine -

Château Clos Fourtet 2022 is a stunning expression from Saint-Émilion in the 2022 vintage. As a Grand Cru Classé from exceptional terroir, this wine combines aromatic depth, elegance and tension, capturing the unique character of its clay-limestone soils and the estate’s meticulous winemaking. Fine tannins, pure fruit and refreshing acidity define its profile and aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: deep, vibrant purple.
Nose: complex and inviting with blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, wild florals, fine spice, graphite and subtle mineral notes.
Palate: broad, structured and perfectly balanced. Fine-grained tannins are silky yet firm, supported by delicate freshness. Dense and expressive core leads to a long, saline, persistent finish with remarkable aromatic persistence.

Terroir & Blend

Saint-Émilion’s clay-limestone and well-drained loamy soils encourage optimal ripeness and pure fruit expression. Blend dominated by Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc, lending complexity, structure and aromatic finesse.

Winemaking & Aging

Hand-harvested grapes with strict selection. Parcel-by-parcel vinification with long, controlled macerations for depth and finesse. Aged in French oak barrels with a carefully managed proportion of new oak to refine structure while preserving fruit purity.

Food Pairings

Perfect with grilled or roasted red meats, beef fillet, rack of lamb, sauced dishes, game birds or aged cheeses. Serve at 60-64 °F (16-18 °C). Decant for 2 hours when young to fully release aromatic complexity.
