Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Clos Fourtet 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2018

97–100
/100

Lobenberg: Clos Fourtet dækker 20 hektar på plateauet i Saint Emilion. Overfor kirken. Terroir af ler og kalksten. Rød og sort kirsebærsaft i næsen, derefter lidt viol, brombær, en smuk, fin St Émilion-næse. Munden er overraskende elegant og fin med en klar Cabernet Franc-orientering. Meget slank, meget skarp i den salte mineralitet, men tanninen er helt poleret. Lidt domineret af kalksten, da Clos Fourtet ligger på en ren kalkstensklippe. Og det er vinen også, enormt mineralsk, skarp og salt, men også superfin og elegant med stor længde. Alt i alt en uventet vin i et så modent år, fordi den simpelthen er et filigranagtigt, sprællende lille vidunder. Jeg synes, den er fantastisk. 97-100/100

Galloni om: Chateau Clos Fourtet 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2018 Clos Fourtet is one of the most elegant, refined wines of the vintage. Silky and aromatically expressive, Clos Fourtet is all grace. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and sage all lift from the glass. Even with all of the natural richness of the year, Clos Fourtet sizzles with tension and delineation. Then again, that is the magic of the Saint-Émilion plateau. Clos Fourtet is easy to look past in 2018. It is neither exuberant nor exotically ripe. Instead, everything is in reserve. The 2018 is a magical wine, that's all there is to it. Don't miss it. 98/100

Parker om: Chateau Clos Fourtet 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Clos Fourtet (a blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Franc) opens with wonderfully pure, intense black fruit notes of ripe blackberries, crushed black cherries and warm plums, leading to suggestions of pencil lead, clove oil, black olives and aniseed. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of muscular black fruits, delivering compelling vivacity and tension, framed by velvety tannins and finishing epically long and perfumed. The intense, bright, energetic fruit on this 2018 has been impeccably preserved. Stunning! 97/100

Decanter om: Chateau Clos Fourtet 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Really settling in to the potential that it showed en primeur, this is tightly coiled right now but still full of plush, carefully placed tannins, with olive paste, cassis and dark chocolate. Powerful but also elegant and understated. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Harvested 18 September to 10 October. 60% new oak (tasted twice, see below). 97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Clos Fourtet 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Beautiful all the way, the deep purple hued 2018 Château Clos Fourtet comes from one of the prized terroirs on the upper limestone plateau, just outside the village of Saint-Emilion. The blend is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, brought up in 60% new French oak. Gorgeous minerality as well as cassis and ripe black cherry fruits emerge from this full-bodied 2018 that has lots of tobacco and spice-driven aromatics, again, an almost searing minerality, beautiful overall balance, and ripe, building tannins. It benefits from air if opening bottles anytime soon, and it’s going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and cruise for two decades in cold cellars. 97/100

Suckling om: Chateau Clos Fourtet 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Suckling: This is one of the best wines I have had from here. Full-bodied yet focused and super dynamic. Tight and linear with fantastic length and energy at the end. Exciting. 96-97/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Clos Fourtet 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Wine Spectator: Dark plum and boysenberry fruit is laced with tobacco and chalk notes, while the fleshy grip slowly builds through the finish. This is seriously long, and though the fruit is gorgeous, the minerality steals the show in the end. 96-99/100
