Reviews
James Suckling 96
Blueberry, stone, mineral and dried-flower aromas follow through to a full body. Silky and polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows finesse, and polished with such sensitivity. Superb finish.

The 2015 Clos Fourtet was picked between September 18 and October 12 at 42 hl/ha. This has an entrancing bouquet with ebullient red cherries, raspberry and allspice, hints of cedar manifesting in the background. Very harmonious and focused aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins, wonderful poise and a judicious dash of spice towards the energetic finish. What an outstanding Clos Fourtet.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Clos Fourtet has lifted menthol notes on the nose over a core of chocolate-covered cherries, dried mulberries, baked plums and potpourri plus a touch of cloves. Medium-bodied and very firm with lovely ripe, fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness, it finishes long and perfumed.

Situated against the walls of Saint-Emilion, this estate is producing impressive wines like this vintage with its balance of acidity and opulent, ripe black fruits. Freshness and richness combine in this wine that has a powerful structure that will let it age for many years.

Wine Spectator 96
Thoroughly ripe but seemingly light-footed, as a remarkably silky structure lets waves of plum sauce, blueberry reduction and raspberry puree glide through effortlessly. Light licorice, violet and ganache hints add to the finish, showing very fine chalky minerality in the background.
