Among the most remarkable historical vintages of Clos Fourtet, enthusiasts readily mention 1959, considered one of the greatest of the post-war era, as well as 1964, which produced wines of rare concentration on the Right Bank. The 1982 marks a renaissance for Saint-Émilion as a whole, and Clos Fourtet is a fine illustration of this. The years 1989, 1990 and 2000 are also highly sought after for their balance between power and finesse, testament to the estate's exceptional ageing potential.
