Clos Fourtet is a 45-acre estate in the St.-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux, France. It is ranked as a Premier Grand Cru Classe B in the classification system of the St.-Emilion. Wine has been made at the estate since the mid-18th century. Today the estate is owned by Philippe Cuvelier, who also owns Chateau Poujeaux. The vineyards are planted to 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Some 5,000 cases of Clos Fourtet are produced annually. There is also a second wine, Closerie de Fourtet. Robert M. Parker Jr. believes that the estate “has been resurrected” by Cuvelier, and that in the last decade it “has been one of the best premiers grand crus classes of St.-Emilion, with striking richness, color, intensity and minerality.”
