The red wine Clos Fourtet, vintage 2010 from the winery Château Clos Fourtet has been rated in 2023 by Peter Moser with 98 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc from the region Bordeaux in France.
Dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, an attractive, inviting bouquet of blackberry, crystallised violets, subtle notes of menthol, and multi-faceted fruit nuances. The full-bodied palate is elegant and powerful with fresh, ripe tannins, notes of blackberry, cassis, and fine herbal spices, and a saline minerality. Juicy and persistent, with nuances of mint on the long finish. Certain potential for further ageing, a class wine.

Full-bodied and fruity on the palate, notes of fresh sour cherry, well-integrated, firm tannins, nuances of red berries and dried plums on the mineral finish. Definite ageing potential.
