Clos Fourtet is an emblematic estate in Saint-Émilion, located on the limestone plateau that immediately adjoins the medieval ramparts of the village. It is part of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé appellation and benefits from an exceptional geological position: its vines rest on a clay-limestone soil that is particularly well-suited to Merlot, the dominant grape variety in the blend. This location on the edge of the village gives it a unique identity among the great names of the Bordeaux Right Bank.
