Château Clos FourtetSaint-Émilion 2010
About this product
The former winemaker, Pierre Lurton, now holding the reigns at the epic Cheval Blanc estate, laid the groundwork for the evolution of this previously overlooked estate, raising the quality of wine and leading current winemaker Daniel Alard into a winning position for high quality wines. The estate is traditional with a picture-perfect, ivy-covered Chateau but its the attention to detail in vineyards alongside side modest (60 to 70% new) oak usage that lets the fruit shine. The 2010 wine is notable for its formidable architecture yet grace - a wine suited to long term cellaring, but rewarding in five to eight years too.
