The 2020 Clos Fourtet offers up aromas of dark berries, plum preserves and pencil shavings framed by nicely integrated new oak. It is medium to full-bodied, with a rich core of ripe fruit that’s framed by powdery, youthfully firm tannins that assert themselves on the finish. This limestone site always delivers low pH, so the wine remains fresh and vibrant, even if its fruit flavors are marked by the warmth and sunshine of the vintage. 2028 – 2048

Blend: 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon
