Clos Fourtet 2009 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
95-97 Barrel sample. Black, dense fruits, licorice and dark chocolate over prunes and ripe figs. This is a spicy wine, with the acidity of the fruit forming a great balancing counterweight. Very complete.

Elegant as well as rich, this is a beautiful wine. It has great depth of flavor, the sweetest fruit, deliciously ripe. At the same time, the tannins are an underlying sustenance to the impressive ageworthiness.

Clos Fourtet 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
94-96 Very dense wine, the dusty tannins floating through the black plum flavors. It's rich, concentrated, complex, with a great depth of flavor. This will always be powerful, while already balanced.

Clos Fourtet 2011 Barrel Sample Red (Saint-Emilion)

94-96. Barrel sample. A finely balanced wine—its immense tannins are mitigated by the fruit and dark chocolate flavors. It finishes with a hint of smoky wood.

Clos Fourtet 2005 Red (Saint-Emilion)
A perfumed, sweet wine, immediately attractive. Behind this friendly exterior is a dark core of firm tannins, along with spice, blackberries, and new wood—not too much, just right. This chateau is firmly back on form.

Clos Fourtet 2004 Red (Saint-Emilion)
This estate seems to be going places, making in 2004 an impressively balanced wine that seems to walk a fine line just the right side of superripeness with consummate ease. It is elegant, yet powerful, dominated by a seamless combination of blackberry jelly fruits and dark, smoky tannins.

Clos Fourtet 2005 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Barrel sample. New wood aromas are mingled with black fruits. The wine is solid, but with sweet wood and fruit tannins, which are already integrating well. The fruit is deliciously ripe, with acidity only just showing.

Clos Fourtet 2006 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
Smoky and spicy aromas set the scene for a wine that plays on its wood and toast. These give a smooth texture to the berry fruits and dried raisins. At this stage in its development, the wine is still tight, but as it opens out its concentration will come through more, and the freshness of2006’s Merlot will show strongly.
