History and anecdotes
Clos Fourtet is a prestigious wine estate in Saint-Émilion and is classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B. It takes its name from "Camp Fourtet," the fortified place that protected the medieval city of Saint-Émilion.
The estate was purchased by the Cuvelier family in 2001.
Clos Fourtet has an entire system of quarries that plunge between 6 and 12 meters deep across 13 hectares. Hidden from view, 100,000 bottles and 250 barrels rest in this vast limestone enclave.
