Rated 90+/100 by Neal Martin « This feels a little pinched at the moment but it has the weight and intensity to fill out with bottle age. Maybe it would benefit from more complexity on the finish, but otherwise it is a well-crafted Poujeaux. » (February 2020)

A small vineyard of 8 ha of old vines (70% Merlot), now owned by Clos Fourtet. Superb wine, balanced and fruity and tasty, for a very modest price, which rightly became a grand cru classé in 2012. For the Revue du Vin de France as for us : "The best quality/price ratio in Saint-Émilion".

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.
Rated 95/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « La fraîcheur de la matière aux pafums de fruits et d'épices est soulignée par un boisé subtil qui donne du souffle au vin. Une réussite du millésime. » (Nov. 2020)
