Viniou Reviews

Wine Description and Region Overview:

The Clos Fourtet from Saint-Émilion in the Bordeaux region of France is a distinguished wine. Although you've entered it as non-vintage, this area is well-known for producing complex red wines, primarily from Merlot, with possible blends of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are typical of the Right Bank. The terroir of clay-limestone soils imparts remarkable structure and aromatic depth. Saint-Émilion enjoys a moderate maritime climate, lending the grapes a balanced acidity. Clos Fourtet, with its historical lineage, has consistently reflected the elegance and prestige inherent to the area, renowned for its rich viticultural heritage.

Pairing Suggestions:

This Bordeaux red pairs beautifully with dishes that complement its depth and richness. Consider classic pairings such as roasted lamb or beef wellington. Additionally, French cuisine from the region, like a hearty cassoulet or duck confit, can beautifully underscore the wine’s complexity. A platter of aged cheeses, particularly a creamy Camembert or a nutty Comté, can also enhance its flavours.

Tasting Advice:

To fully appreciate the nuances of this Saint-Émilion, serve it at an ideal temperature of 16-18°C. Decant the wine for about 1-2 hours to allow the aromas to open up. Begin with observing the wine’s rich ruby colour, then swirl gently to release its bouquet of dark fruits, subtle spices, and earthy notes. Finally, as you taste, savour the layered flavours and well-integrated tannins for a memorable experience.
