Red Wine: 2016 | Clos Fourtet | Saint -Emilion 18L
2016 was an absolutely exceptional vintage in Bordeaux and this is a brilliant release composed of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Incredibly lush and hedonistic, this is dangerously approachable already but will be at its best after a period of further cellaring.

Producer Information
Saint-Emilion's limestone plateau produces some of the appellations's most illustrious wines, and Clos Fourtet has an enviable location there. The 20 hectares of vines are situauted around a stately manor house built just before the French Revolution. This is on the very outskirts of the medieval town of Saint-Emilion. The chateau's underground cellars are perfect for aging wine.Clos Fourtet owes its fame to the Rulleau and Carles families. The latter were lords of Figeac. They were the first to grow vines on this barely arable land, which nevertheless has outstanding natural drainage. Clos Fourtet's old vines, perfectly balanced grape varieties, traditional winemaking methods backed up by the most modern techniques, and aging in new oak barrels in underground cellars complement all the gifts that nature has bestowed on this chateau.
