Falstaff: 99 Punkte 

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, tiefer Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Brombeeren und schwarze Kirschen, feiner Nougat, ein Hauch von Kräuterwürze, Orangenzesten, facettenreiches, einladendes Bukett. Komplex, saftig, engmaschig, mineralisch-salzig, feine Extraktsüße, seidige Tannine, tolle Frische, bleibt lange haften, sicheres Reifepotenzial, harmonisch und bereits sehr gut entwickelt, ein Wein von großer Dynamik und Vitalität." - Peter Moser (04/2025) 


Jane Anson: 97 Punkte 

"Fragrant, intense and vivid opening, rose bud, violet flowers, intense and chalky. These are powerful tannins, chalk, pumice stone, a slow and gentle build through the palate, every time you think it is done it just gives a little bit more. Concentrated, elegant, savoury and just so tasty. 3.4pH. Harvest September 8 to 22. 40% new oak." (04/2026) 


Decanter: 97 Punkte 

"Ripe and heady blackcurrant aromas on the nose. Smells concentrated but fresh too. Supple and so juicy, really beautiful acidity giving tension but matched to ripe strawberries which give a gentle chew and a cooling blueberry touch with a chalky, flint and graphite finish. Friendly, balanced, smooth. There’s power but energy and elegance – this is beautiful, such a gorgeous texture. Great minerality with chalky tannins but nothing too much or out of place. A real wine of its place. A yield of 28hl/ha. 3.40pH. Malolactic fermentation in tank then ageing in just less than 40% new oak and the rest in one year old barrels 58% and 2% clay amphora." - Georgina Hindle (04/2026) 


Vinum: 98 Punkte 

"Still, nobel, tiefgründig, braucht etwas Zeit, seine Aromen zu zeigen, dunkle Kirschen, Pflaumen, darüber subtil florale Nuancen; straffer Gaumen, gradlinig, energiegeladen, baut Druck auf, bleibt dabei federleicht und elegant, grosser Spannungsbogen, perfekt reife Frucht, markante Säure, sensationelle Gerbstoffqualität, präzis, salin und im Abgang von ausgezeichneter Länge. Ein hocheleganter Clos Fourtet, der sein Terroir perfekt reflektiert." - Adrian van Velsen (04/2026) 


Yves Beck: 98-100 Punkte 

"Was für eine herrliche Symbiose aus kreidigen und blumigen Nuancen, die sich mit Noten von Heidelbeeren, Lakritz und Pfefferminze verbinden. Die Pixellierung, die Liebe zum Detail und die Reinheit schaffen eine außerordentliche Harmonie. Am Gaumen wird der salzige und prägnante Charakter der Struktur durch die cremige Seite gut eingerahmt. Letztere ermöglicht es den Tanninen zudem, ihre Kraft voll zur Geltung zu bringen, gemeinsam mit der Säure, die das vorhandene Temperament und die Frische nur noch besser zur Geltung bringt. Ein vibrierender Clos Fourtet von seltener Tiefe mit einem endlosen Finale, untermalt von feinen Bitternoten. Ein bemerkenswerter Clos Fourtet!" (04/2026)

The 2025 Clos Fourtet is elegant, polished and super refined. Bracing mineral notes cut through a core of dark red and blue-toned fruit. Spice, mocha, new leather and licorice all meld together. Seamless and profoundly elegant, the 2025 impresses with its sensual personality, soft contours and magnificent balance. Time in the glass brings out touches of blood orange and white pepper that lend explosive brilliance through to the gorgeous, sustained finish. The team opted for cool fermentations in the cellar. Most lots saw 21-26 days on skins, which is on the shorter side. Clos Fourtet has recently shifted to doing malolactic fermentation in tank instead of in barrel, which has naturally lowered the wines' oak imprint, highlighted fruit purity and softened their contours. The 2025 is positively stellar. Tasted two times. Grand Vin.

A deep and layered red with chocolate, berry, cherry, orange peel and some limestone aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with lovely fruit and a tangy and vivid finish. Bright acidity comes out at the end. The clarity of fruit is exceptional. 84% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 6% cabernet sauvignon. (05/2026)

Deep ruby-hued and showing a dense, inward, powerful profile that may be due to a higher percentage of Cabernet Franc than normal, the 2025 Clos Fourtet offers ripe currants, black cherries, graphite, scorched earth, and chocolatey nuances that define the bouquet, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with deep, layered mid-palate richness, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Based on 84% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon from clay and limestone soils, it's going to need time, but it's certainly loaded with potential. (05/2026)

Intense and spicy with notable tannins and a spicy backbone of peppery fruits, blackberries, currants and a dense, strong aftertaste. This is a classic wine made in an old fashioned way in the best sense of the word, and it will require 5-7 years of cellaring. Should develop nicely though.

Unfurling in the glass with notes of dark berries, plum and kirsch mingled with hints of iris and anise, the 2025 Clos Fourtet is full-bodied, ample and layered, with a multidimensional textural profile, tangy acids and a long and penetrating finish. To moderate extraction, fermentations were kept cool, at around 24 degrees Celsius, with only punching down. It's a blend of 84% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
