2015 Clos Fourtet Premier Grand Cru Classe B, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 96

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. Tasted at the Clos Fourtet vertical in April 2023. [Neal Martin, 01/05/2025]

"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." [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 21/02/2018]
