2009 | Clos Fourtet | Laurel

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.

Producer Information

In 1988 Daphne Glorian, at the time employed by an English Master of Wine in his Paris office, was in the throws of epic folly and spent her life’s savings on 17 terraces of hillside vines just outside the village of Gratallops. Newly minted friends René Barbier and Alvaro Palacios encouraged her and together with Carles Pastrana and Jose Luis Perez, they pooled their talents and resources to make a new style of wine in a region rich in history and raw materials but without much of a proven track record for fine wines. In 1989 the modern Priorat was born: one wine but five different labels, each which would one day become known around the world: Clos Mogador, Clos Dofi, Clos Martinet, Clos de l’Obac and Clos Erasmus.Today Daphne’s property goes by the name Clos i Terrasses in recognition of the Clos upon which her fame was established and the terraces that she farms. The estate is planted with 75% Garnatxa, 20% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
