Catalog
Sometimes the balance of the vintage's climate, the quality of the soil and the careful work of men reach perfection. We bet that the wines below will become legendary when they will reach their peak.
We offer them only in magnums because larger bottles allow a slower and better ageing, and because emotions are even greater when they are shared.
Each of these magnums is presented individually in its original wooden case, stamped by the Château.

Advised by Mr. Derenoncourt, Clos Fourtet regularly and unobtrusively demonstrates that the upper part of the Saint-Émilion plateau can produce wines as great as the Ausone or Pavie hillsides. Sobriety, depth, finesse and intensity are exemplary.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 99/100 "The 2022 Clos Fourtet is every bit as compelling as it was en primeur, maybe even a bit more so. Vertical and explosive, the 2022 offers a captivating mix of textural opulence and classic structure. The blend is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. One of the key signatures of Clos Fourtet is the presence of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is rarely seen on the Saint-Émilion plateau but seems to add weight and gravitas here. Dark blue fruits, new leather, spice, menthol and espresso stain the palate as the 2022 gradually reveals its considerable pedigree. The 2022 was raised in a mix of 58% once-used barrels, 40% new oak and 2% amphora. More Importantly, it is without question one of the wines of the vintage."
J.M Quarin (February 2025): 97/100 "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Very aromatic nose, fine, subtle, complex, with ripe fruit that gains in purity and nobility as the glass is shaken. Smooth on the attack, with a refined texture and melting body, the wine glides, caresses and builds to a crescendo in the last third of the palate. It finishes full, long, delicate and deep at the same time. It's superb."

Neither quite Saint-Émilion nor quite Pomerol, the inimitable Cheval Blanc occupies a special place on the right bank, on the famous gravelly terroir of the Figeac plateau. Inimitable because its wines subjugate in a perfect alchemy between freshness, subtlety and hedonism, the whole on tannic frames at the same time refined and melting, between silk and cashmere.
The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 95/100 “The Cheval Blanc 2014 has an almost Left Bank-inspired bouquet, scents of tarry black fruits, tobacco and undergrowth that unfold in the glass, but not as ‘immediate’ as the Canon. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy, very well balanced and nuanced with one of the few finishes I'd describe as “precise” that invite you back for the next sip. Excellent.”
