Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Les Grandes Murailles 2021 is 100% Merlot, grown on limestone. This is the last vintage of this wine - it will from here on be included in Clos Fourtet. It has a deep garnet-purple color and storms out of the glass with up-front scents of plum preserves and blueberry pie, giving way to suggestions of fallen leaves, black olives, and wet slate. The medium-bodied palate is tightly knit, with a lively line and fine-grained tannins supporting the bright, pure black fruits, finishing with a minty lift.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Majoring on raspberry and wild strawberry fruits, clear limestone signature, sappy and with lift through the finish, a little soft through the mid palate but totally charming with a grilled dried herb and fennel finish. As of 2022, this wine is to be included within Clos Fourtet, giving it an interest for collectors. Not tasted En Primeur.

Inside Bordeaux

The 2020 Les Grandes Murailles is deep garnet-purple in color. Closed and grumpy to begin, with coaxing the nose offers notes of plum pudding, fruitcake, and Morello cherries, followed by suggestions of cedar, tar, and cracked black pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush and juicy, with plenty of black fruit preserves flavors and an oak-laced finish.

From a 2 hectare limestone plot located next to Clos Fourtet, this offers mouthwatering salinity, and a beautifully juicy finish. Moreish and mouth watering with blueberry and cassis fruits but also pretty austere. 50% new oak along with 11% amphoras for the ageing. The Cuvelier family has requested for the next classification that this can be included in Clos Fourtet but for now kept separate - so if you like it, buy your bottles now!

Les Grandes Murailles 2018 is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with notes of cedar and mocha, over a core of plum preserves and baked black cherries, with wafts of tobacco and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has nice brightness and freshness, even if it is a little hollow and short.
