Mid crimson. Very nicely balanced and early maturing. Is there a hint of brett? But there is real life here – not too sweet. Attractively dancing. (JR)
A beautiful offering from proprietor Philippe Cuvelier and his estate manager, Tony Balu, the 2007 Clos Fourtet was fashioned from yields of 36 hectoliters per hectare. It exhibits a dense blue/purple color along with lovely aromas of charcoal, graphite, black raspberries, and blueberries. Dense, rich, and surprisingly full-bodied for a 2007, with good glycerin, a layered mouthfeel, sweet tannin, and low acidity, it should drink well for 10-12+ years.
A little meaty at first then some cassis notes. More meaty on the palate and dry finish. I wonder if this has a touch of Brett? (JH)
Informazioni sul produttore
The Cuvelier family took over Clos Fourtet in 2001 and modernised the estate – renovating the winery and undertaking significant replanting. Its 18.5 hectares sit on the limestone plateau.
