    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Clos Fourtet enjoys a fabulous position at one of the highest points of St Emilion's limestone slopes. A really perfumed nose of cool, soft black fruits and graphite. Full bodied with good concentration and precision. Another very stylish Clos Fourtet demonstating what can be produced from this exceptional terroir.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2008 Clos Fourtet has a tightly wound bouquet with raspberry, cranberry and light tertiary aromas, a touch of bell pepper in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin. This Clos Fourtet boasts impressive body, almost sinewy in style, a backward 2008 Saint Émilion from Mathieu Cuvelier although I was smitten by its persistent spicy aftertaste. It clearly deserves a couple more years in bottle. One to watch carefully. (Tasted at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual 10-Year On tasting.)
