La Closerie de Fourtet Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Berries and chocolate come through, together with terracotta and walnut character. It's medium- to full-bodied with juicy fruit and a dusty-textured finish. Attractive red fruit and wet earth at the end. Drink after 2028.

This delivers a pure, unadorned stream of dark cherry, cassis and violet notes, with a subtle whiff of black tea through the silky, lightly toasted finish. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2033. 1,600 cases made.
