2015 Clos Fourtet, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion
This is an impressive Clos Fourtet. Perfumed and expressive on the nose, the palate has lovely weight and nicely extracted flavours with balance. The tannins are very ripe, but they are coated with fruit. This is excellent.

The 2015 Clos Fourtet is a blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc, and it was picked between 18 September and 12 October. It has a voluminous bouquet with sweet cassis and blueberry aromas, rather smudged with violets coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannin, ripe and voluptuous, dark chocolate infusing the red and black fruit with a touch of mint on the structured, graceful finish. What a fabulous Saint Emilion from Mathieu Cuvelier and his team - Clos Fourtet with breeding and class. It deserves 5-8 years in bottle.
