Clos Fourtet Premier Grand Cru Classe B

Clos Fourtet 2006

Clos Fourtet

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 93.0

A Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, Clos Fourtet is placed just on the entrance to Saint-Émilion and boasts some of the most extensive underground cellars in the region. Under the guise of Pierre Lurton, Fourtet’s reputation really began to shine. Lurton eventually left to become winemaker at Cheval Blanc and was replaced by Daniel Alard, who continued to develop Fourtet’s reputation for creating delicious wines. Located on the Saint-Martin plateau, the estate’s 19 hectares of vineyard are planted with Merlot (c.72%), Cabernet Franc (c.22%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.6%). The final blend is aged in 60-70% new oak barriques for 18 months.

Jancis Robinson

Tasted blind. Blackish garnet. Pale rim. Much fruitier initially and a bit less drying on the palate. Quite a bit here but a certain singed quality. Full-blown! Enthusiastically extracted.

Panos Kakaviatos

With a sweeter nose compared to the 2002, this wine showcases upfront ripe fruit and chocolate cake rather than light brownie. It is hard not to admire its profound mid palate with juicy sap, fine-grained tannin: suave and balanced. Long finish. It should be on a plateau for another couple of decades. Try with Beef Wellington. 3.69pH.
