Clos Forutet is located on the limestone plateau just outside the walls of Saint Emilion.. The 20 hectare vineyard is in a single block, unusually for Saint Emilion and is farmed biodynamically. Owned by the Cuvelier family since 2001 (who also own Chateau Poujeaux in the Medoc), Clos Fourtet has seen a steady rise in quality under the Cuveliers and the guidance of Stephane Derenoncourt, consulting oenologist. Recet vintages such as 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2022 have received considerably acclaim for their balance of purity of fruity, precision and balance, with a profile that reflects its limestone terroir - floral lift and mineral tension.
