Premier Grand Cru Classe de Saint-Emilion The Clos Fourtet vineyards covers 20 hectars proudly overlooking the famous limeston and clay plateau which is home of the greatest wines of saint-Emilion. Great Wines, in fact, are inextricably linked to great terroir. Here the plots of wines stretch down from the top of the plateau until they meet, to the nort, the first valley, where the soil is a subtle mixture of ancient sands containing traces of limeston deposit. I love this country that feeds the wine roots with just the right amont of water and minerals as and when they need them. This is what guarantess the finest grapes.
