Clos Fourtet is a Premier Grand Cru Classé [B] in Saint-Émilion with a 19-hectare vineyard area. The property is currently owned by Philippe Cuvelier, a Parisian entrepreneur whose main business is a paper and office supplies company. This release is the 2009 vintage of its flagship wine, a blend of 88% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc. The nose is beautifully scented, with ripe fruit aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry coming through. Full and complex on the palate with tight-knit tannins and persistent finish.
