Clos Fourtet St Emilion Grand Cru Premier Grand Cru Classé B 2021
Austere opening beats, with sculpted, savoury and understated black cherry and pomegrante fruits, subdued but with beautiful finesse and a slow build through the palate. Love the kick of oyster shell salinity on the finish, and the peony floral aromatics that keep you engaged. A reasonable yield of 40hl/h as its location again protected from frost. Clay-limestone soils. 50% new oak, 2% amphoras. The sheer class of this estate has come through more strongly after ageing, and this is a single point upscore.
