PRE-ORDER About Winery Clos Fourtet is a story of terroir and legacy, a narrative woven through generations of viticulture and winemaking. Its history stretches back to the Middle Ages, when the site was a defensive settlement, and its wines were known as "Camp Fourtet," guarding Saint-Emilion. The estate's reputation grew under the Rulleau and De Carles families, Lords of Figeac, and later the Lurton family, who increased the Merlot ratio and modernized the winery. In 2001, Philippe Cuvelier purchased the property, further investing in its potential and elevating the wines to new heights. Today, Clos Fourtet, managed by the heirs of Vincent Cuvelier, continues to refine its traditional and modern techniques to produce exceptional vintages, embodying the refinement and elegance of Saint-Emilion.
