The Clos Fourtet 2006, Premier Grand Cru Classé B of Saint-Émilion, originates from a clay-limestone terroir. Dominated by Merlot (80%), it offers notes of dark fruits and a floral touch. The palate, silky and fresh, captivates with its mineral balance. To be served between 16 and 18°C, this vintage is an ideal companion for red meats such as Beef Wellington.
Nestled in the heart of Saint-Émilion, this family estate embodies the excellence of an exceptional terroir, shaped by generations of passionate wine lovers.
- Terroir: A limestone plateau at the gates of the medieval city, where chalky soils and deep clay lend the wines a distinctive minerality and rare elegance.
- Vinification: Patient aging in French oak barrels, combining tradition and precision to reveal the purity of the fruit and the complexity of the grape varieties.

On the palate – Velvety texture and fine tannins, carried by a lively acidity and mineral tension; the long, persistent finish reveals nuances of liquorice and cocoa.
