The red wine Clos Fourtet, vintage 2012 from the winery Château Clos Fourtet has been rated in 2023 by Peter Moser with 93 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, aromas of ripe black cherry, hints of plum, fig, and candied orange zest. The juicy, elegant palate has medium complexity with good freshness and a delicate salinity, appearing rather slender on the finish despite its 14% alcohol. Very accessible and drinkable, offering a rather uncomplicated drinking pleasure this versatile wine should by no means be underestimated and decanted.
More about the tastingDeep dark ruby garnet. Restrained nose, some dark fruit. Furry tannins on the palate that partially cover the fruit, nice ripe sweetness at the core, but somewhat tart on the finish.
